Diva-Dirt gave a mixed review giving a score of 2.5 out of 5, saying "Overall, it’s an interesting effort with a variety of different styles used. There is a shift in style and tone from one song to the next which I appreciate. If I’m honest, I was expecting all of the songs to be in the same Twilight-esque vain as ‘Fantasy’ but there is a nice variety that shows you different sides to Maria. The four songs gives you a nice taste of what a full album could sound like. Unlike other celebrities, I don’t feel that Maria has just made a record for the hell of it — you can sense her passion for her music. I went into listening to this with low expectations and I found myself surprisingly entertained. If you are looking for deep, meaningful, original music however, it’s not that".[7] Riley Sky of Dropkick Divas Media' gave a mixed-positive review giving the EP a grade of a C+, saying "The album itself is pretty good, not great, nor bad. The self EP entitled track "Sevin Sins" was the disappointing part about the EP. Alice In Wonder Land is the best, Change Your Mind is the in between good and great, Fantasy is neutral to slightly positive, while Sevin Sins was the bad. Maria, I loved you in the ring and I love your music, but the EP needs a lot of work. The average listener likely won’t dismiss listening to this EP; if it’s catchy and has a great hook — it works. Hey! Its good for being released Independently, besides that the EP earns an C+".[6]
