Reception and release
Drew Troxler of We Own The Nite NYC praised "Without You", writing, "Beginning with a slow and melodic-driven guitar riff that leads into deeply captivating that are sure to pull heartstrings. With an echoing build up that gravitates to a futuristic drop filled with electronic loops and sweet synths, “Without You” is a surefire crowd charmer."{{Cite news|url=http://weownthenitenyc.com/slander-kayzo-drop-new-heartfelt-track-without-now-via-monstercat/|title=SLANDER & Kayzo Drop New Heartfelt Track "Without You" Out Now via Monstercat|date=September 29, 2017|work=We Own The Nite NYC|accessdate=November 23, 2017}}
Scott Lombardo of EDMTunes generally liked Holy, stating "“Holy” is epic from start to finish, and its theatrical intro makes it the perfect track to kick off a set full of banging music. The vocals give it the feel of an alt-rock tune, but the subdued vocals eventually give way to an increasing tempo and intensity that explodes with energy."{{Cite news|url=http://www.edmtunes.com/2017/10/kayzo-slander-holy/|title=Kayzo & SLANDER Reunite for "Holy" off Dilapidation Celebration EP|date=October 27, 2017|work=EDMTunes|accessdate=November 19, 2017}}
