Critical reception
Melanie Falkensteiner of Hive Magazine gave Exodus 4 out of 5 stars, writing, "Although one shouldn't necessarily compare newcomers to other big voices in the music scene," when listening to the EP, "a certain resemblance to the likes of Sam Fender and Dermot Kennedy is undeniable." Falkensteiner also states that "Noah Kahan comes to mind as well" and concludes, "Exodus is a poignant debut. Aaron Rowe can only be congratulated on this brilliant body of work."
Thomas Bedward of Broken 8 Magazine felt that "Exodus [to be] more than just a collection of songs; it's a snapshot of Rowe's journey so far. Written during a pivotal period of leaving home and searching for a new sense of belonging, the EP is both deeply personal and universally resonant." Bedward continues, "With influences ranging from the soulful warmth of Motown to raw reflections on homesickness, Exodus offers a musical home for anyone navigating their own journey."
