What Is My Capacity to Love? is a 2023 EP by Thanks for Coming, the solo project by Rachel Brown of Water from Your Eyes. The work was released while Water from Your Eyes was on tour and was previewed with the tracks "Loop" and "Unlimited Love".
This EP was a staff pick at Exclaim!, where critic Kaelen Bell wrote that it "feels just as impactful as the concrete-smashing weirdness of [Water from Your Eyes] Everyone's Crushed". David Renshaw of The Fader wrote that this EP "represents an emotional breakthrough for Brown", by exploring personal relationships intimately. Writing for Pitchfork Media, Nina Corcoran rated this release a 6.0 out of 10, characterizing it as "a collection of charming, heartfelt bedroom pop songs that deserve to be more fully realized", writing that while "Brown’s mesmerizing, almost detached singing anchors the music" which she calls like a mixtape and sums up that "the homespun quality of Thanks for Coming songs draws them close to the chest, but the music deserves a more striking, realized form too". In Spill Magazine, Ljubinko Zivkovic rated this album 8 out of 10, writing that this music "kept that youthful exuberance when [Brown] start creating" in spite of having released dozens of works.
