Critical reception
Reviewing the extended play for Pitchfork, Jaeden Pinter called it a "zany, '80s-inspired debut" with lyrics that make Udu "sound like a cursed Victorian ghost, doomed to live in heartbreak for all of eternity," also commenting that Udu "fleshes out her sound, highlighting a promising young artist in the age of internet virality". Emma Swann from DIY, described the extended play as "a charming showcase of cut-and-paste pop that has seemingly taken cues from anywhere and everywhere."

Jalyn Chiclana of The Ticker reminded the extended play from Kero Kero Bonito's second studio album, Time 'n' Place (2018). She also describes the lyrics as "catchy and relatable, especially towards romantics."
