Reception

Fred Lombard from Indie Music said "Rich in melodies and a unique groove, Hideout reveals itself with the confidence of young stars that nothing and no one can resist." Lombard also called the EP "five tracks that modernise and combine soul, disco and funk in a warm and wildly catchy pop momentum."[4]

Waterloo Records said "the Hideout EP covers a lot of ground. Tracks range from driving electro thumps to softer pop taps. But what is clear in the end is that Parcels bring a unique brand of pop music and deliver it with infectious and emotive dance."[5]

Umstrum Music said Hideoutshowcased their unique brand of indie pop, featuring laid-back grooves, infectious choruses and psychedelic synths."[2] In reviewing the remix EP, they said "Hideout Remixed EP is an incredibly diverse collection, demonstrating the eclectic aesthetic of Parcels' universe."[2]

Following the release of "Overnight" in June 2017, Jake Nixon from This Song Is Sick said "The band brings an electronic influence to their productions while maintaining an organic sound. The relaxing indie release is a feel good EP that flew under our radar but is sounding like something any Daft Punk fan would enjoy."[6]
