Critical reception

David Jeffires from AllMusic said "With material that's generally light and fluffy in the best sense of the words, rapper Jake Miller tends to shine on the short, EP format, dropping four to six of his infectious pop-rap tracks and then bowing out before he's anywhere near cloying." and went on to say that "[Rumors] is one of his best showcases."^[5]
