Critical reception

The EP received positive reviews from critics upon its release. Kristen Maree of Renowned for Sound stated "Kicking off with laid-back, mid-tempo track 'Wanna Be Your Baby', Zara throws us back to some of Mariah Carey's peppier stuff, move quickly to 'Never Gonna Die' which you would be forgiven for mistaking for Rihanna. The title track 'Uncover' is the pretty ballad of the bunch, while 'Carry You Home' is exceptionally current and unique. The echoey 'She's Not Me' is the closest we get to cliché, saved by Zara's stunning vocal performance, while the closing 'Rooftop' is the nicest way to round off the EP, sounding like something from Taylor Swift's 1989 ". [2]

MuuMuse's Bradley Stern claimed "[Uncover] is the very essence of Swede–pop at its finest – strong songcraft, powerful melodies, and captivatingly pure vocals, from the feel–good, '80's synth–soaked 'Wanna Be Your Baby' to the thoroughly brilliant 'Rooftop' to 'She's Not Me, Pt. 1 & 2', which glides across ghostly wisps like one long, paranoid internal monologue and/or ode to Madonna's Hard Candy jam".
