's Marc Hogan gave the EP an 8 and stated that "Washed Out, the solo project of Georgia multi-instrumentalist Ernest Greene, fits in almost too well with the balmy lo-fi synth atmospherics of peers like Neon Indian, Toro Y Moi, Small Black, the higher-fi jj, or the darker, heavier SALEM, as well as the more guitar-based Real Estate, Best Coast, and Pearl Harbour. Washed Out's debut Life of Leisure EP isn't at the top of its class, but Greene so far is one of this fledgling aesthetic's most gifted students."
The song 'Feel It All Around' was released as a single, became a definitive song of the chillwave genre, and appeared on many best-of-2009 lists, including those from Pitchfork and NME.
