    None of these songs would've found a great home on Narrow Stairs, but taken together, they make a worthy addition to a solid catalog.

    As the title suggests, The Open Door is full of fresh air, wide spaces and rollicking melodies--a welcome change from the tangled Big Sur woods and claustrophobia of "Narrow Stairs."
  3. No Ripcord

    The EP highlight comes with 'My Mirror Speaks' recalling the band's dynamic work from "Plans."
  4. All Music Guide

    Such tunes may not have suited the bittersweet beauty of Stairs, but they're quite good in their own right, making The Open Door EP something more than a fans-only release.
  5. NOW Magazine
    60
    Unless you're a desperate DCFC fan in need of satiation, The Open Door isn't worth the purchase.
