Writing for The Scotsman, Fiona Shepherd admits, "The songs on this EP may not represent a dramatic new departure for Lewis Capaldi, but given the mental health struggles he’s been dealing with it’s encouraging that he has embraced his return so fully", and lauds Capaldi as "he has proven himself willing to be open and vulnerable in person and in song and has testified to emerging stronger for it."[3]Rolling Stone UK calls the EP "a snapshot of his time away from music to focus on his mental health and offers searing clarity into the reality of the situation", and also praises Capaldi, declaring "he’s come out the other end with a collection of songs that rank among his very best."[4]
