Critical reception
Gab Ginsberg from Billboard described the EP as "a tight handful of R&B and electronic-tinged pop tracks that showcase where she is here and now" and "serving as a more chill companion to the bubbly Fire on Marzz EP."

Nathan Gunn of Tone Deaf called the EP "Benee's most emotional and well-constructed work, which becomes especially apparent in latter tracks like 'Drifting' and 'Blu'."
