Mike DaRonco of Allmusic commented that the EP "[brings] out more of the grimmer perspectives on lost love. Not that all three members are diagnosed manic depressives — they just have a more honest approach to relating to all those who just got dumped. For Your Lungs Only captures these moments perfectly without crossing into the territory of feeling sorry for themselves".[1] He also noted the influence of the Descendents, Jawbreaker, Crimpshrine, and They Might Be Giants on the EP.[1]

Personnel
gollark: Pretty sure it can do it natively, but you need to turn that option on by updating the firmware and setting an option in some thingy somewhere.
gollark: They can only USB-boot if you configure them to do that... which requires a working OS to poke the firmware or whatever.
gollark: Why does a server have an optical drive in it?
gollark: Of course you need another server. You always need another server.
