Critical reception

Grace Goodfellow of The Ripe TV gave the extended play a positive review, praising each song and concluding; "Vance Joy isn’t just a musician. He is an artist and this EP is his masterpiece. ‘’God Loves You When You’re Dancing’’ is a beautiful piece of art – it really, truly is." Daniel Falconer of Female First UK also praised each track and gave the EP 5 out of 5 saying "Vance Joy is without a doubt one of the most exciting singer-songwriters to emerge from the scores we see on a regular basis, and any fan of music would be a fool not to keep an eye firmly on him." Jon Sidwell of Music Liberation claimed the EP should "please many" and that his voice contained "a striking combination of fragility and confidence".
