Simon Maher from CDBaby gave the album a rating of 5 out of 5 stars and commented: "The professional recording debut EP of an aspiring Portuguese music artist, Ana Free, is a pleasant surprise. Ana Free's EP is an extremely impressive debut and it leaves you eagerly awaiting the release of her forthcoming album. This 5 track EP clocks in at a little over seventeen minutes. As the old saying goes, always take quality over quantity. These 5 tracks definitely have the quality. Judging by her debut, Ana Free is definitely one I expect to hear a lot more from in the near future". R. Freitas from Universe gave the album a rating of 4 out of 5 stars saying: "Some songs like "Questions In My Mind" or "Chained", show a mild calm and serene sounding, with well-structured complex original lyrics, as well as the other new songs. this album is a great original".
