Marcy Donelson of AllMusic wrote that "BoyWithUke proves his skill with a short-and-sturdy hook, to the point that it often plays like a set of commercial jingles with fat, simple beats" and that "When there are lyrics, they often come in the form of candid crush confessions that aren't too likely to win over their infatuations".
