Leonie Cooper of NME called the EP "a gossamer- light, glorious thing that, over the course of four songs, builds into something approaching pop perfection."[1] Katherine St. Asaph of Pitchfork was optimistic about Rogers' career going forward, writing "She has a platform. She’s got ideas. But like all discovery stories, the real reward lies in what comes next."[4]
