The Get Scared EP recieved quite positive reviews:
Erik Rojas from The Sound Alarm site gave the EP an 7.5/10 rating stating that, "This three song EP is overall solid, and it blends many forms of music together, to create a diverse sound, which can be hard to find in today’s scene."[5]
Metal Odyssey reviewed the EP stating, "It’s the multi-combination of this band’s aggressive Hard Rock moments, moxie, unbridled relevance, harmonious vocals and the unfailing melodic nature of these three songs that makes this EP and Get Scared notably memorable" giving it a positive 4/5 rating.[6]
Cyndi Jo of Hardrock Haven gave another positive rating of 8/10 stating, "The songs are solid with elements of post-hardcore with the screamo-whatever-core that fans have maintained popular. As far as guitar work and hard hitting vocal tactics go, it’s there, but it’s definitely time for the whole thing."[7]
