Drunken Trees attracted attention largely from independent music journalists, whose response was generally positive.

The Skinny gave the EP a score of 4/5, writing that "these two have world-weary voices far beyond their years, in the same way that Dylan did when he was 21...an understated acoustic gem."[4] Allmusic, meanwhile, were more reserved, writing that while the band "sing in full, earthy, expressive tones that belie their years", they are "still in the process of refining their craft, and still taking plenty of cues from other artists".[2]
