Following its release, Better Luck Next Time received a generally positive review from Brady Brickner-Wood writing for Pitchfork who said Midwxst continues to polish his "frenetic" breed of pop-trap while maintaining a fundamental weirdness that’s neither too loud nor too discreet.[5] While Pitchfork's Hattie Lindert would comment on the musical style calling it a "nimbly eclectic" mode of pop-trap.[7] Will Schube of uDiscover Music said the EP showcases Midwxst's "sonic" versality on the tracks "Riddle" and "I Know You Hate Me".[3]
