Critical reception

Craig Jenkins from Vulture called "All the Way" and "Snowed In" the mixtape's best tracks, despite calling the project "less like Christmas music and more like a fun, low-stakes love letter to both artists' place of birth". Pitchfork published a review of the mixtape's reissue in 2017, awarding it 7.7 out of 10.[9]
