Critical reception
Marcy Donelson of AllMusic praised the "relatably introspective" lyrical content of the extended play and deemed the "pure anthem pop" style akin to a more sincere Katy Perry. Mike Wass of Idolator called the collection "excellent," noting how it builds on the success of the title track while also "[proving] there’s more to [Platten] than uplifting, self-help anthems."
