The EP features acoustic versions of four songs from Lambert's debut album, For Your Entertainment, as well as his show-stopping "Mad World" rendition.

Jim Farber of NY Daily News remarks that Lambert is "downright operatic in 'Soaked' and as wild as Freddie Mercury on 'Music Again.'

"[3] Lyndsey Parker of Reality Rocks also praises Lambert, saying that the entire EP "thrillingly places Adam's remarkable vocals front-and-center.

"[4] Lambert's acoustic version of "Mad World" also garnered USA Today's "Pick of the Week" on December 6, 2010, with Jerry Shriver proclaiming that "there's no shortage of electricity or passion.

The tale of wanting to escape from a meaningless existence sounds even more urgent as Lambert attacks his acoustic guitar and gives full-throat to that dramatic tenor voice.
