Critical reception

David Reyneke of Potholes in My Blog described the EP as "a quick listen for any of you out there that are struggling to keep up with Main Attrakionz's already vast catalog."[4] Philip Mlynar of MTV said, "It's a canny, cross-generational union, with Mondre M.A.N. and Squadda's raps meshing with beats by Jel and Zachg."[5] Brandon Soderberg of Spin wrote, "All four of cLOUDLIFEs songs are just as bizarre and inspired." He praised the EP's final song "Take Her Shoppin" and commented that the song "best captures Main Attrakionz's drifting, surprisingly emotive rapping."[6]
