The EP was celebrated as an “intangible tapestry of sound and raw emotion, blanketing the pop, alternative, and folk genres” by Atwood. It peaked at #16 on the BillboardHeatseekers Chart and garnered critical acclaim from The FADER, The Guardian (New Band of the Week), Pigeons and Planes, NYLON, The Line of Best Fit, Noisey (VICE), Interview Magazine, and Paste Magazine. The final track on the EP, “Hypnotic,” was picked as an iTunes Single of the Week and would go on to be featured as the second single from the album.
