Charles Ubaghs of Drowned in Sound gave the EP an 8 out of 10, saying: "If he can expand on what he's accomplished here with the same level of technical skill and vision, then Flying Lotus just might be onto something that forces us all to stand up and take notice in the very near future."[2] Stephanie Kale of Exclaim! said: "The closest comparison is J Dilla's Donuts - the grooves come hard and fast like sweet interludes that keep you wanting more."[3]
Jack McFarlane of The Skinny described "Tea Leaf Dancers" as "a seductive and sultry post-midnight slow dancer with top 40 written all over it".[4]
