Critical reception

Scandipop.co.uk gave the EP a positive review stating, "All very different from each other. ‘Loving You’ sounds like it could have been Margaret's next Melodifestivalen entry, ‘Sucker For Ya’ is an up-tempo, rousing, retro-soul jam, and ‘Say I Do’ is the soppy ballad we were all expecting to be on here. They're all pretty excellent, actually, what with him being a dab hand at the ol’ songwriting lark. But our personal fave (of the new ones at least) is ‘Loving You’. It sounds like his next big hit." [3]
