The EP was received well by critics, with Pitchfork's Ian Cohen praising the band's "modern updates" to early 2000s pop-punk and emo, to which they add "a couple of tricky breakdowns sourced from the New Wave of Post-Hardcore and lyrics that deal primarily in identity, familial strife, and therapeutic frameworks".[4] Chris Deville of Stereogum noted that while the songs are short, they still achieve "anthem status", while a review in New Noise Magazine highlighted the growth from the band's previous release, stating that Everything Nice "provides more sonic depth and quality, as well as a refreshing songwriting approach to the emo-rock genre".[5]
