Critical reception
Edit
The album was met with favorable reviews. Andrew Leahey of Allmusic gave the album a three-and-a-half stars out of five, and called the EP "one of the better recordings in Glee's catalog" and a "tidy, polished, well-sung tribute album". He gave plaudits to the performances of Naya Rivera, Jayma Mays, and John Stamos, but felt like the casting of Amber Riley as Dr. Frank-N-Furter was misplaced.
