In a review for Scene Point Blank, staff writer Shane gave Second an 8.5/10 rating. He had high praise for the opening track, declaring it "one of the best songs of the year by any band." Although critical of "a couple strange transitions that feel a bit rushed," he wrote that the EP leaves the listener "wanting more." He concluded by saying, "Baroness are certainly a band on the move...If [their] first two records are any indication to what a full length might be, expect nothing but great things." [3]
Aversionline called Second a "nice chunk of work," saying, "it sounds extremely impressive... The drums [sound] perfect, and the guitars are nice and up front with a really surprising level of clarity to their overall texture. The basslines then fill things in nicely and generally play a pretty significant role, and the hoarsely shouted vocals are powerful without overpowering any of the instrumentation." [4]
All music is composed by Baroness; lyrics by John Baizley.
