Rolling Stone's Mike Powell gave the EP 3 out of 5 stars, calling it "an informal introduction to an artist who probably has more to offer."[7] In contrast, AllMusic's Scott Kerr was more favorable in his review of the EP, giving it 4 out of 5 stars and writing that "It's clear to see that together these EPs are an indicator of her wonderful songwriting talent."[2]

The song Avant Gardener played over the credits at the end of Season Two of the Netflix Original series Bojack Horseman.

gollark: It'll probably take a giant scandal ("Facebook is stealing your credit card information and using it to buy random people illegal drugs!") to make people consider moving, and you know what? They probably won't!
gollark: Though they're still reachable by SMS, I can't participate in their group chats or whatever, and I probably can't convince them to use Signal.
gollark: I already have a bit of trouble communicating with some friends because they're on WhatsApp.
gollark: I mean, so far, I'm trying to avoid cloud stuff by running most of my services locally, but I have to interact with cloudy stuff to actually communicate with people, and regardless of what I do there'll be all kinds of shadowy data mining going on.
gollark: I kind of hope the cloud thing will begin to recede as P2P technology improves and computers get fast enough that you can run a decent amount on a £50 RPi kit, but sadly... it probably won't.
