AllMusic's Andy Kellman called the project "not quite as malevolent as the title indicates" and "a little more openhearted than Faiyaz's earlier output", though still with "flashes of the cynical outlook and more of the remorseless (if sensitively delivered) slow jams for which he's known."[1] Exclaim!'s A. Harmony wrote that Faiyaz "blends the bitter with the sweet" on the EP where he "perfects his knack for juxtaposition by mixing aggressive, rap-leaning quips with dulcet tones that, together, create a unique sound only he can deliver." Faiyaz "tackles romance-centred songs with compelling specificity. But unlike other R&B albums, his imagination doesn't stop at relationship issues: Faiyaz also explores themes like trauma, depression and self-development, which keeps the album from getting boring." The EP offers "lots to enjoy here for old and new fans alike."[8]

Pitchfork's Alphonse Pierre noted that "there's a lot of slow-groove R&B right now", but that while Faiyaz is "often lumped into this scene ... he doesn't deserve to be" because, unlike other releases in the scene, this EP "starts to sound like a horror story" where "sex is a game and there are no consequences for anything" after listening long enough. Faiyaz is "at his best when he's cold-hearted" and "remarkably consistent as a songwriter" with the project's weakest point being "Soon Az I Get Home (Interlude)", "mostly because of its brevity".[2]
