A review by Consequence of Sound says that None More Than You "falls into a narrative jaunt with a fluidity, but remains incomplete enough to invite questions." They write "Whoever You Are" is a song "used to signal the passage of time during a montage or pump up a slightly terrified protagonist, but the bright '80s weirdness and pumped-ip beat save it from wandering off the path."[6] Audiofemme says the EP is a "gorgeously crafted journey of the psyche, sprinkled with existential musings questioning reality and fantasy and the constant limbo of the mind between the two."[7] The New York Times writes that Worden "has a feeling for both the grandeur and the grain, building every sweeping gesture in her music out of a swarm of small details."[5]
