The Midsummer Station - Acoustic was generally met with positive reviews. Fred Thomas of AllMusic stated, "Though still employing electronic drums and a variety of non-acoustic instruments, the EP does offer stripped-down versions of three songs from the album, including laid-back alternate renditions of singles 'Shooting Star' and 'Good Time'."[7] Jono Davies of Louder Than Music remarked, "What you get is two new songs and three different mixes of well known Owl City songs - some work, some don't - but what you do get is something the fans will love to have."[6] Ian Zandi of Indie Vision Music gave a more negative review stating that the EP "should have never been made."[5] He called the unreleased tracks "forgettable" and the acoustic songs, "not horrible" but "have no real reason to exist."[5]
