A precursor to the album Blood Inside,[1] A Quick Fix of Melancholy showcases the band's ability to seamlessly combine ambient and electronic music with orchestral elements.

"[4] Global Domination rated the EP 10/10, commenting, "There are moments of a general upbeat/pensive nature, most of this is very downhearted music, sometimes shifting towards the downright depressing.

Instruments include drums, violins, cellos, chimes of some sort, trumpets, a whole bunch of other shit that at times incites a euphoric kind of dreaminess, at others just really gets you down.

"[5] John Chedsey, writing for Satan Stole My Teddybear, concluded, "This is so far one of the most impressive feats for Ulver, showing they are doing nothing but growing within their chosen musical pursuit.

The growing skill in which Ulver is putting together their music is quite impressive and this EP is making me salivate at the thought of future releases.
