Critical reception
Ruby C, writing for NME, describes "Gambler" as a departure "from the group's usual title-as-a-repetitive-hook formula to create an alluring and unadulteratedly fun song". For the track "Secrets", she also wrote that, "it could have fit right in with pop sensibilities, sax outro, and mildly suggestive lyrics".Commercial performance
