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.[1] 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."[4]
