Andy Argyrakis, giving the EP four stars from CCM Magazine, describes, "Despite The Unmaking EP clocking in at a mere six songs, it sure is wonderful to have her back to penning personal, pensive and sometimes challenging sentiments, accompanied by stirring contemporary pop arrangements...regardless of the lengthy absence, she sounds even more seasoned than the last time around."[2] Awarding the EP four and a half stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, Mark D. Geil states, "Here's to the hope that the EP is indicative of a steady stream of thoughtful, well-crafted songs that make us think, touch our emotions, and enrich our relationship with God."[5] Tony Cummings, indicating in a nine out of ten review by Cross Rhythms, replies, "Recommended to all fans of uplifting balladry and roots-tinged pop rock."[4]
Jonathan Andre, giving the EP four and a half stars from 365 Days of Inspiring Media, writes, "this is certainly and definitely worth the wait".[1] Rating the EP a four out of five for The Phantom Tollbooth, Bert Saraco describes, "The Unmaking is a nice little sampler."[7] Calvin Moore, signaling in a four star review at The Christian Manifesto, recognizes, "The Unmaking EP is a brief album that is full of hope, vibrancy, and truth."[3] Specifying in a four star review from Louder Than the Music, Jono Davies reports, "Nichole has a voice that is a pleasure to listen to whatever the weather."[6]
