Julie Byrne with Laugh Cry Laugh

The album has received positive reviews from critics.

[1] Andrew Sacher of BrooklynVegan included this among the notable releases of the week and wrote that "each song shows off a different side of Julie’s gorgeously somber sound", continuing that the album includes several genres, such as minimalist ambient pop, folk, sophisti-pop, and electro-acoustic.

[2] Writing for Spill Magazine, Ljubinko Zivkovic rated this album 9 out of 10, considering it "outstanding" and a great companion to" Byrne's full-length The Greater Wings, released several months earlier, as both have "excellent songwriting, a beautiful voice, and a penchant for arrangements to match".

[3] Marc Abbott of Under the Radar rated this album 8 out of 10 stars, calling it "quite possibly the perfect early Christmas present" for being "as sublime as it is subliminal".

[4] Paste ranked this the 24th best EP of the year and critic Madelyn Dawson called it "a perfect end-cap to what The Greater Wings accomplished earlier this year", which "solidifies that this was, without a doubt, Julie Byrne’s year".
