The Brag[1]

Liz Elleson from The Brag said "The songwriting is simple but nostalgic and anthemic, and the EP as a whole is densely musical and texturally fascinating." called the release "Pure quality".[1]

Ally Cole from AAA Backstage said "The Pacific EP is a release full of crescendos. With lyrics covering themes of humanity in the unknown, mortality and divinity, the four songs drive home narratives with building soundtracks of duelling guitars, harmony-riddled vocals and commanding percussion." Cole said "The strength of Holy Holy can simply be put down to a sheer dedication to craft. Their songs have a timeless quality, fusing impeccable songwriting, thought-provoking lyrics, near-flawless performances, and lush production."[2] Oliver Friend from Forte Magazine believes the EP would make many "indie festival fans very happy and excited" and called 'House of Cards' as the standout track.[4]

Alexender Crowden from Beat Magazine said the EP sounded "something like all of the best indie-rock songs of the past two years combined into four tracks" before concluding with "The Pacific EP is a creative and enjoyable first step".[5] The AU review called the EP "brilliant".[6]
