Robert Christgau gave the EP an A grade and wrote that "All four songs are quick, sexy, and a trifle nasty."[2] AllMusic's Steve Leggett gave the EP 3.5 out of 5 stars, and described it as "hardly some Frankenstein creation, but instead a fluid, energetic, and yes, even traditional-sounding set of gems that proves one can pull two different directions together into one without losing the strengths and passion of either."[1]
