Margaret Reges of Allmusic described Between the Devil and the Sea as "a group of hook-driven, scribbly, smart, and fun songs. The production is clean, the nasal, somewhat goofy vocals are pleasantly bizarre, and the whole thing feels just about right."[1] Chris Fore of QRO Magazine called it "an instant relaxer" due to the band's "cheerful sense of humor that boils over".[3] Pitchfork Media's Liz Colville wrote a mixed review, criticizing the opening track "Oh Be One" for its lyrics, percussion and predictability, while complimenting the band's few "glimpses of raging passion" elsewhere on the EP.[2]
