Reception

Scandipop said that Saade reinvented himself with this EP. They said that it was "largely a strong collection," and that "new songs "How Do You Like Me Now?" and "Heart of a Lion" stand up alongside "Colors" as sublime synthpop tracks with a cohesive sound and standard. They’re so good as a trio though, that we can’t help but feel the other two songs detract somewhat from what could have been a brilliant EP. "Wide Awake", while still good, is just in a world of its own and away from the rest, sonically speaking. While "Darkest Hour".. should never have made it out of the studio! We love the new artist he’s become, and we want him to stick with this new direction." [3]
