Reception


The EP received positive reviews from critics. Jim Allen of Allmusic states that the EP ranges between "raw, garagey punk explosions" and "quirky, angular, post-punk-influenced creep-rock nuggets" with "a dark, edgy feel".[1] Chris Middleman of Spectrum Culture describes the EP as "more interesting musically" than Jaguar Love, maintaining its post-punk feel.[2] Sputnik Music describes the EP as an "outstanding debut" with "just enough of a taste to leave listeners dying for what a full length album will sound like".[4] Scott Gray of Exclaim! states that the EP sounds "like a natural enough progression from Young Machetes" with "enough fresh perspective on instrumentation and melodic impetus" to establish the band as a distinct entity.[7] Clash states that the songs of the EP "pack a much rawer punch, having more in common with Fugazi and Hüsker Dü" compared to "Jaguar Love's many-layered arrangements".[8] Jonah Flicker of Blurt states that the EP proves that Past Lives sounds more interesting and arguably closer to the style of Blood Brothers.[9]
