Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that the EP "is the sort of work that sets a blueprint for things to come ... the record is fantastic in every respect." Spin called the version of "St. Elmo's Fire" a "stunner ... which sounds like a '70s country-rock tune piped into a truckstop diner in cyberspace."
