All songs produced by Imagine Dragons (Ben McKee, Wayne Sermon, Dan Reynolds, Andrew Tolman and Brittany Tolman). Reception
Jason Bracelin, writing in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, gave a glowing review of the EP by stating "Dan Reynolds sounds like a dude with a bull's-eye for a heart". He continues "With its staccato vocal delivery and huge keys, "All Eyes" sounds destined for the airwaves, the same of which could be said of the wistful "Emma," with its dizzy synth lines and coed harmonies, and the climactic "I Don't Mind," which is powered by ricocheting guitars."
