Gay?
The EP is notable for being the first recording to receive a very rare 10.0 rating from Pitchfork Media upon its release, being one of the few albums to ever have done so.[2][4] The site later repudiated the rating.[5]

Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that the EP "documents a formative stage in the band's evolution, as the songs here hint at space-country, ambient synth textures, and jazzy, quiet storm-influenced adult contemporary."[1]
