The Quietuspositive[2]

Pitchfork's Ian Cohen gave the EP a mostly positive review, writing: "Golden Haze initially appears to be the culmination of Wild Nothing's big year, collecting the previously available Evertide EP, a Gemini B-side, and two new tracks. But as a State of Wild Nothing Report, it shows that Tatum is nowhere near done messing with his favorite musical ingredients."[1] The Quietus also gave the EP a positive review, stating: "It's classic jangle-pop with something slightly deeper lurking underneath, the Field Mice covering the darker corners of the Cure's oeuvre, an EP brimming with promise, full of the sounds of someone constantly honing their craft in the pursuit of distant perfection."[2]
