Maybes was met with enthusiastic response. Resident Advisor wrote that "there's plenty of space for flights of imaginative fancy here," and reasoned "that the duo have managed something this accomplished for their debut indicates the probable arrival of a major talent."[2] XLR8R described the work as "deceptively complex, with a sense of floating formlessness akin to the gentler side of '90s-era British IDM".[3] Pitchfork Media wrote that the EP "should be of interest to listeners who find dubstep's pervasive moodiness to be a turn-off" and stated that, along with the group's subsequent Sketch on Glass EP, it contained "character, humor, light chaos, nice sound design, and real melodic imperative".[1]
