Reception
Writing for Pitchfork, Eric Torres praised the EP's sound, stating "the music channels its volatile energy into a more approachable side of Vegyn’s sound, with joyful house beats and emotive production that gives way to some of his catchiest melodies yet", however criticised it for sometimes relying "more on mood than melody".[4] NME gave the album 3 out of 5 stars, with their reviewer Charlotte Krol calling it "his most refined work yet",[5] while Resident Advisor's Jemima Skala said the EP is "subtly experimental, melding accessible melodies with moments of weirdness that open the door to another world".[6]
