Critical reception
The Constant Lover received mixed reviews from critics. MacKenzie Wilson of Allmusic said that the record finds the perfect balance between being innocent and provocative, and added that the EP isn't excessively enthusiastic or overly calculated. Joe Tangari of Pitchfork Media insisted that it "is an impressive, memorable debut by a band with a great instinct for developing songs for maximum impact." However, Stylus asserted that the album did little more than "rip-off" the band Pretty Girls Make Graves, and that both the album and the band themselves are blatantly calculated towards commercial success.
