Tom Beedham of Exclaim! wrote, "A hazy class in raw juxtaposition and club-tested disruption, Grace is an artful tapestry that threads together folkway traditions and late night club encounters." Max Pearl of Resident Advisor stated, "Grace is at times so focused and earth-shakingly forceful that it's a little intimidating." Ben Cardew of Pitchfork described the EP as "a record for star gazers, romantics and wanderers, a genuinely transportive work that flies from the mundane."
