Australian Music Online described the release as being "like a night in October, that perfect combination of hot and cold, light and dark, the nenish tart of EP's"..."Veering from the filthy impending dooms night atmosphere and blippy electronics of "Kitty in the Middle" to the title track "Girl and the Sea"'s wandering bass and pristine, travelling Euro feel, the storming, ecstatic "Summer O' Love" and the gorgeous, heavenly melancholy of "Mia's Mouse".[5]
