Critical reception

The EP received generally positive reviews from critics. ''Already Heard'' rated the EP 3.5 out of 5 and: "Overall, ''Our Bones'' is a pleasure to listen to. For a short EP and only 15 minutes of music, The Contortionist have managed to create a diverse snapshot that is sure to excite fans of their future." ''Depth'' praised the EP saying, "I'm very happy they've allowed us into the world of ''Our Bones'', and I'm keen for whatever lies ahead." ''Distorted Sound'' scored the EP 7 out of 10 and said: "Unlikely to do much more than whet the appetite for a lengthier release, ''Our Bones'' is a welcome aperitif, and a lively reminder that The Contortionist are still well worth our attention." Ricky Aarons writing for ''Metal Injection'' reviewed the EP stating: "''Our Bones'' feels more like a calculated teaser than a definitive statement, but it looks like we can expect greater intensity and some classic songcraft from The Contortionist in the not-too-distant future."
