Critical reception
Julian Baldsing of The Line of Best Fit praised Hughes' songwriting and vocals, and said "Super Sunset excels by proving that regardless of how much of Allie X the human is revealed, there’s so much more to the artist that has yet to be discovered.".[8]
The EP was included on GQ's list of the best albums of 2018, Idolator's list of the best EPs of 2018 at number 5, and Paper listed it as the 18th best album of 2018.[9][1][10]
