Rob Moran from Sydney Morning Herald said the EP has "jazzy chords" and "lilting songs of troubled young love". [2]
The Music Desk at Broadway World said "The 6-track EP... includes previously released standouts, "Younger", "Don't Tell Me", and "Dazed & Confused" ... [and] features two previously unreleased songs; an infectious falsetto-laden alt-R&B influenced track called "Not Thinkin' Bout You" and "Say", a nostalgic, heartfelt power-ballad that exquisitely showcases the young artist's impressive vocal range and control." [3]
Ones to Watch said "The EP as a whole is a testament to the bright future of pop music, as it is rich with an array of genres, contains a diverse range of relatable lyrical themes, and hosts a number of guaranteed ear worms." [4]
Atwood Magazine said "Ruel is Ready: He's proved it five times over on his introductory effort, asserting his musical and lyrical talents through a majestic series of heavy anthems and soulful ballads that cut deep, hitting home every time." [4]
