Michael Craig from The Guardian said "[Dylan] turns failed relationships into messy anthems, often dismissing no-mark exes, or clamouring for emotional parity, over stadium-sized, pop-punk tornados. She also explores that tricky grey area just as things start to fall apart, giving songs such as the thundering Lovestruck an extra dose of disillusionment."^[6]

Sophie Williams from NME said "[The EP] is a collection of neon-pink power pop that teases heavier influences, and maintains both tight riffs and a confident snarl. If this sounds like a lot to swallow, then you're absolutely right: it's a crowded but self-assured record – but Dylan has learned that by going for the big feelings, she inspires near-rapturous devotion."^[7]

Finlay Holden from Read Dork said "Self-aware, satirical and snappy tunes twist Dylan's trauma into catharsis as she successfully packs a punch into every track – whether it's the acceptance of 'Nothing Lasts Forever' or the striking loneliness of 'Home Is Where the Heart Is', it's hard to listen through and not picture yourself with a fist in the air at one of the many arenas the London-via-Suffolk singer has dominated this year alone."^[8]

Ellie Boyle from The Independent said "Dylan has found the perfect blend of pop-punk and songwriting on her debut mixtape." Boyle continued "The mixtape has themes of heartache, self-worth, and always looking at the glass half full even when there doesn't seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel."^[9]
