Critical reception[edit]

Path.Finder was well received by most critics. Farrell Sweeney of Dancing Astronaut noted the songs featured as having an 'underlying dark edge that frames a collection of upbeat, vocal-lead, and ominous singles juxtaposed against one another.'^[7]ThisSongSlaps' Lauren Ikenn wrote that the extended play was 'well worth the wait' and was 'everything we wanted and more.'^[4] Writing for The Nocturnal Times, Caroline O'Keefe compared it to Notaker's previous extended play, Erebus I, writing that the prior is more progressive-base, writing that the record took 'listeners on a transcendent journey through progressive anthems, some of his most unique productions to date, and emotionally-rich narratives that culminate in a mesmerising balance of delight and remembrance.'^[8] Asad Aftab of EDMTunes praised the extended play, stated that Notaker had assembled 'emotionally powerful, synth-heavy bass music by crafting radiant soundscapes & coupling it with masterful production' and concluding his review by writing that it 'It charts the evolution of Notaker as a musical artist as he explores a more melodic sound throughout, and it's exciting to see him evolve his sound even more on future releases.'^[3]
