AllMusic critic Tim Sendra wrote: "The EP is a nice little capper for a tremendous year and presents a strong case that Nothing and Whirr are the best noise-soaked, '90s-worshiping, pedal-hopping guitar bands around".[5] Punknews.org stated that "both bands don't skip a beat here and it's four of their best", and further commented, "These bands continue in a musical vein that allows both to showcase how different they are to each other but also, just how these dissimilar sounds collide to make brutally honest and genuinely moving music".[6]
