On August 12, 2010, Hey Monday's now-former bassist Jersey Moriarty and Pope tweeted that the album was available for streaming on their MySpace page.

Notes The EP has received mixed reviews from critics and fans, many liking the lyrics but missing the pop punk sound and energy from the first album Hold On Tight.

Alternative Press gave it 3 out of 5 stars, commenting "[it] comes off as extremely over-produced, with swooshes, bells and whistles lending themselves better to Kelly Clarkson than Hey Monday" as well as "Beneath It All is enjoyable enough, but it feels woefully incomplete."

Blare Magazine stated "Beneath It All consoles you with a striking pop construction but force feeds you images of Kelly Clarkson ("I Don't Wanna Dance") and an edgy Taylor Swift with an innocent butterfly tattoo", giving it 21⁄2 stars out of 5.

[10] It starts out with Hey Monday walking up to the stage, and seemingly performing a concert as the lyrics follow the "take me home" intro.
