Barnabas Abraham of *[The 405](/wiki/The_405_%28website%29 "The 405 (website)")* said "*Creature Songs* features a more aggressive edge that marks itself on the EP's opening two tracks, and overall the EP is another refreshing sample of a group who carry an infectious energy." *[NME](/wiki/NME "NME")*s Rhian Daly described the EP is a mix of "dark [folk](/wiki/Contemporary_folk "Contemporary folk") and grisly [grunge](/wiki/Grunge "Grunge")," further elaborating: "It's an approach that makes the London four piece a moodier, gothier Metric, but at least they're upfront about it on this new EP. The first half – 'Moaning Lisa Smile' and 'Storms' ("My demon's my friend, so fight me") – comes on like the ritual sacrifice of [Throwing Muses](/wiki/Throwing_Muses "Throwing Muses") with [Courtney Love](/wiki/Courtney_Love "Courtney Love")'s rustiest guitar strings before 'Heavenly Creatures' and 'We Are Not The Same' indulge their softer psychedelic doom\-folk side, the dejected calm after the massacre." Emma Swann of *[DIY](/wiki/DIY_%28magazine%29 "DIY (magazine)")* characterized the EP as "2014 grunge", and added: "The angst oozing from the guitars of Ellie and bandmate Joff Oddie is tangible, whether accompanied by the yells of single 'Moaning Lisa Smile' and the even fiercer follow\-up 'Storms', or the near\-whispers of final two 'Heavenly Creatures' and 'We're Not The Same'."


Are there any notable differences in sound between the EP's first and second halves?
