Margaret Reges of Allmusic described Between the Devil and the Sea as "a group of hook-driven, scribbly, smart, and fun songs. The production is clean, the nasal, somewhat goofy vocals are pleasantly bizarre, and the whole thing feels just about right."{{cite web |last=Reges |first=Margaret |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/between-the-devil-and-the-sea-r1082658/review |title=Between the Devil and the Sea - Review |website=AllMusic |publisher=All Media Network |accessdate=2011-06-03}} Chris Fore of QRO Magazine called it "an instant relaxer" due to the band's "cheerful sense of humor that boils over".{{cite web |last=Fore |first=Chris |url=http://www.qromag.com/reviews/album_reviews/oh_no_oh_my_between_the_devil_and_the_sea_ep/ |title=QRO Magazine Album Reviews: Oh No!
