User Album Review
Media response to The Stranger was generally positive. Reviewing the EP for DIY magazine, Tom Connick described that it "harbours a playful musicianship and songwriting talent that could turn groups ten times Creeper's age green with envy", praising Creeper's development on the EP from their previous releases. Awarding it a perfect score of five stars, Alec Chillingworth of Stereoboard.com also compared The Stranger favourably to The Callous Heart, highlighting "Misery" and "Astral Projection" and hailing the release as being "as good as rock music gets". In June 2016, Kerrang! featured "Black Mass" in its feature of "The Best Songs of 2016 So Far". Writer Paul Travers praised the track as "a supernatural goth-punk stalker with a bassline to kill for" and compared it stylistically to the work of My Chemical Romance, AFI and Misfits.
