Critical reception

In his track review, Ian Cohen of Pitchfork wrote that "the track draws from Cherish the Light Years' potent and extremely loud alchemy of goth-rock and jock-jams." He also stated: "Befitting its lower-stakes release, "Oceans with No End" is a little more brittle and streamlined than "The Great Pan Is Dead", but it regardless captures that all-consuming sense of ambition and yearning contained within the latter."[2] On the b-side "People Are Poison", Cohen also stated: "'People' allows a more exploratory approach to finding new angles on tried and true influences, turning the shuffle in DM's ten-gallon hat goth into something more linear while adding the grainy, brittle distortion of early Jesus and Mary Chain."[3]
