Critical reception
[edit]The project received general acclaim from the majority of listeners, with one of the complaints about the EP being that it sounds like TikTok, mainly alluding to the track "Go (Xtayalive 2)". Connor of Ones to Watch said the EP was "a raucous sense of composition fitting for his unique, genreless style, speaks to a borderless mix of tracks with hints of former inspirations."[10] Martha Clifford of Affair Post claimed the EP was evidence of "the ability of talent and fortitude to overcome industry constraints."[11] Flaunt stated that it was more "entrance" than exiit. "captivated the attention of the youth all around the world"[12]
