Reception

{{Album ratings

}}

Reviews for the EP have been mixed. Allmusic praised its complexity and "constantly shifting, tricky rhythms".^[1] Both Allmusic and Pitchfork commented on the band's pattern of creating playfully odd titles for songs that are completely serious, but Pitchfork considered this a negative, and additionally criticized the lack of any progression in the band's music over their years of existence. They marked "Dog Park" and "Pony Up" as strong tracks, and concluded "The prevalence of so much filler on a six-song EP is discouraging, and marks this EP as just another placeholder in a career long sustained primarily by placeholder EPs."^[2]
