Critical reception
American music critic and YouTuber Anthony Fantano ranked P.O.P. as the sixth-best EP of 2024, saying that, "just when you think you have this project figured out, it hits you with something else that's weird. But simultaneously, the tunes and the production and everything on this record, it's just so bright, it's just so catchy. It's the perfect mix of left field but also accessible."{{Cite web|url=https://theneedledrop.com/opinion/top-15-eps-of-2024/|title=Top 15 EPs of 2024|date=2024-12-17|access-date=2025-01-03|website=TheNeedleDrop|last=Fantano|first=Anthony|author-link=Anthony Fantano}} Greek reporter, Christos Vasilakopoulos of Music Hunter writes that, “ Satti does not want to tread on an easy path.” “She wants to do the unexpected, she experiments and offers a specific proposal, for those who can and want to follow.”{{Cite web |last=Vasilakopoulos |first=Christos |date=11 January 2025 |title=Το P.O.P της Σάττι- Το δεκάλεπτο Mixtape είναι είδη viral- και το music video για το lalala |url=https://musichunter.gr/marina-satti-lalalala/ |url-access=registration |url-status=live |archive-url=https://musichunter.gr |archive-date=11 January 2025 |access-date=11 January 2025 |website=Music Hunter}}
