TheAlbumProject[7]

TheAlbumProject gave the EP a positive review, rewarding it a 4 out of 5 star rating and remarked, "focus on the music because this is some good scene pop, guilty pleasure stuff. There is of course a tad bit of electronic beats, piano, as well as some great sounding acoustic guitar. At the end of the day this is really catchy music that you'll probably enjoy."[7]
