Upon release, Flume said: "I'm really happy with how the ''Companion EP 2'' has come out. There's so many tracks I've been wanting to get off my chest for so long now and I think it's kinda the end of the ''Skin'' kinda campaign and it's a nice way to end it because it's instrumental stuff, there's some vocal collabs... I'm just really proud of how it's turned out."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://soundcloud.com/triple_j/we-called-flume-after-he-won-a-grammy|title=We called Flume after he won a Grammy|publisher=SoundCloud|date=14 February 2017|accessdate=14 February 2017}}</ref>
