Critical reception

| The Line of Best Fit | 4/10[2] |
Asher White of The Line of Best Fit was almost entirely negative, describing the EP as "a half-hour of plodding, cloying ballads, with few shifts in dynamics or tone. Its homogeneity is almost impressive, as is its commitment to sparse, Instagram-filter-production that isolates Boone's piano playing and voice". White found that Boone's "singular mode is a strained, impassioned belt that he'll pitch up to a falsetto when he needs to signify sensitivity" and called his pronunciation "almost parodically indie", while his music "seems meant for no one, too broad in its style to feasibly target a specific audience yet too impersonal to be for Boone himself". White concluded that unless Boone finds an "engaging producer", "he will be as lost as his album cover suggests".[2]
