Critical reception
Steph Payton from ''The AU Review'' gave the EP 9.7 out of 10, saying: "Before even reaching the one minute mark of the first track on Alison Wonderland's debut EP ''Calm Down'' you know this is the one you have been waiting for. Wonderland has packed everything that makes her live shows instant sell out's into five incredible songs. Powerful bass, stunning vocals and exciting samples."

Flume, The Knife and
M.I.A., Alison Wonderland's ultra-hip ''Calm Down'' has a split personality; straddling trashy club and clever EDM. Either way, listeners should find something to love between
heuse of adventurous, solemn strings and punchy, stop-start beats.".
