When announcing Nerds by Nature, Odden and Parsberg stated “We are very excited for this release!

We’re stoked to have people finally hear the tracks in their full glory”.[3]
Reception and release[edit]
Nerds by Nature gained generally positive reviews with Cameron Sunkel of EDM.com stating "there's perhaps no better time to be a fan, as this EP truly has something to offer everyone".[5] Landon Fleury of YourEDM stated "Though Nerds by Nature contains much of the duo’s highest quality material, this clumsy disorganization makes the EP difficult to enjoy as a solid body of work".[6] Harsh Makwana stated "It’s quite apparent that Nerds By Nature is one heck of a musical ride that you wouldn’t want to miss".[9]
