Bikini Daze received generally favorable reviews from critics.
DIY magazine described the EP as presenting "a tale of two sides," with its sequencing emphasizing contrast while showcasing MØ's willingness to challenge pop conventions. The review noted that the project reflects a well-formed artistic identity, suggesting that MØ has defined her creative direction while leaving room for future exploration.
The Line of Best Fit observed that the second half of the EP leans into more experimental balladry, drawing comparisons to the style of
Lana Del Rey. Tracks like "Never Wanna Know" and "Freedom (#1)" were noted for their retro influences, including
doo-wop backing vocals, gospel keys, and soulful arrangements. The review praised Ørsted's vocal delivery and emotional intensity, calling the EP "an excellent portfolio" that highlights the breadth of her musical capabilities. ==Track listing==
