To promote the album Eyedress appeared on the cover the July 2021 issue ofAlternative Press Magazine[3] and co-hosted theTravis Mills Show onApple Music 1 on September 14, playing the whole album and talking through the album track by track.[4]
Shortly after the album release, "Something About You" went viral in the US withRolling Stone citing the track as the fastest-rising song on American streaming services for the week ending September 23,[5] and was certified Gold in the USA in May 2022 and platinum in October 2023.[6]
In a positive reviewBrooklynVegan described the album as a collection of "catchy, melted pop songs",[7]The A.V. Club said the songs "range from lo-fi R&B ('Prada') to aggressive and distorted post-punk ('Brain Dead'), on through to the unabashed '70s slow-jam camp of 'Something About You,' complete with a whispered 'so sexy'—delivered totally straight-faced",[8]The Fader wrote "'Something About You' is a smitten indie soft-rock ballad"[9] whileLoud and Quiet noted "very little can prepare you for the sleazy French noir porno whispers of 'Dom Perignon' on the happy-go-lucky 'Something About You (feat. Dent May)'."[10]
Writing inBillboard, Joe Lynch highlighted album track "Body Dysmorphia" describing it as a "dreamy, gauzy afternoon haze... a gorgeous cut from new albumMulholland Drive that seems written to answer the question, 'What would it sound like if the Cure did a shoegaze song?' The answer: just like this—which is to say, just like heaven."[11]
