Reception and release

Drew Troxler of ''We Own The Nite NYC'' praised "Without You", writing, "Beginning with a slow and melodic-driven guitar riff that leads into deeply captivating that are sure to pull heartstrings. With an echoing build up that gravitates to a futuristic drop filled with electronic loops and sweet synths, “Without You” is a surefire crowd charmer." Scott Lombardo of ''EDMTunes'' generally liked Holy, stating "“Holy” is epic from start to finish, and its theatrical intro makes it the perfect track to kick off a set full of banging music. The vocals give it the feel of an alt-rock tune, but the subdued vocals eventually give way to an increasing tempo and intensity that explodes with energy."
