Critical reception.
Ryan James Blair of Festival Forecast gave "Joytime" a 7.5/10 rating, stating ""Joytime" starts strong with a screeching synth, mallet melodies, and a smooth bass as he [Marshmello] taunts listeners with the vocal hook (Everybody Knows Me... Marshmello)." The rest of "Joytime" does not vary much from the opening track as each song sticks to the strong formula that includes a smooth bass line, sharp synths, simple risers and percussion buildups, trap hats and strong kicks. 'Summer' is perhaps the biggest change of pace with a nice downtempo beat, but at times the sub bass can almost be overwhelming for the slower tempo and context."
