Sales of "Fire" counted towards the EP's chart placement.

Inspired by spaghetti westerns and Quentin Tarantino, and by director-producer Ryan Sauer, the two songs combine to form "Reprisal"; a tale of vengeance and retribution.{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/news/musicnews/peking-duk-drop-two-singles-as-part-of-cinematic-video-reprisal/9748136|title=First Spin: Peking Duk drop two singles as part of cinematic video 'Reprisal'|publisher=ABC|date=11 May 2018|accessdate=24 June 2018}}

Reception

auspOp said: "'Fire' is undoubtedly the most commercial of the two and is primed for commercial radio airplay", adding "'Distant Arizona' is a slightly grittier electronic piece, with Alister from Cloud Control providing the vocals." The website also called the project "seriously impressive".{{cite web|url=https://www.auspop.com.au/2018/05/peking-duk-debut-reprisal/|title=Peking Duk Debut 'Reprisal'|publisher=auspOp|date=11 May 2018|accessdate=24 June 2018}}
