Critical reception

Andy Cush of Spin wrote that the EP "sounds the same". He added, "Maybe at some point soon they'll recognize that the magic of these particular tricks is starting to wear out. Or, like the title of the record implies, maybe they don't know anything better".^[11] Pitchfork's Jonah Bromwich gave the EP a positive review, stating that: "And as fun as it is at times, Know No Better doubles as a testament to the result of spreading a handful of good ideas too thin."
