Blake Solomon of AbsolutePunk.net gave a mixed review of the EP. He stated, "Drew's fine-tuned tenor is so smooth that it might breeze right by." He ended off remarking, "Drew will make plenty of teenage girls happy once his Warner Bros. contract kicks in, but I'd be lying if I said The Summer EP didn't brighten up my day."[10]
