Reviews
Sam Lanky from Idolator gave the EP a positive review saying; "The four-track EP is led by single “Somebody Loves You,” a spine-tinglingly euphoric ’80s pop nugget with a singalong chorus catchier than most of what’s on mainstream radio. Weirder still is that the other three tracks are equally impressive: The luminous “You’re In Love” evokes the new Tegan and Sara album, while “Right Here” is dreamily lush; “High Society” is an injection of New Order synthpop with a rich, cinematic chorus. It’s absolutely perfect pop, and it’s absolutely — incredibly!"[2]
