David Craft states, "While every song on Laid Low is very good, things somehow never quite come together in a cohesive manner. This EP more or less seems to be a random collection of experimental songs rather than a consolidated project. Regardless, the album's softer elements in no way detract from Laid Low's excellence, instead revealing EISM's potential to break into other genres should they continue on this path."[1]

HMMagazine gave a positive review, stating "Laid Low serves as an abbreviated illustration of the band’s various compelling modes", with the primary negative being the absence of a single headliner song of as high a quality as their past work.[2]

gollark: Okay then!
gollark: They have different views, but you shouldn't and probably can't try and shut them down because of that.
