The EP was produced by Adam Young.[3] The song "Silhouettes", from the album, features guest vocals from Breanne Düren.[4] In addition to the main release, the band also put out a cover version of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" as B-sides single to the EP.[5]

Ambient Blue was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. AbsolutePunk stated, "It's obvious they have the ear for lyrical strength, great vocal application, and strong production."[6] Ben Cardenas of Jesus Freak Hideout called the EP, "inventive, catchy, and lengthy." He described the song "Everything's A Miracle" as "a fun dance song" and stated that the track is the highlight of the album. However, he criticized the track "Sunset 1989" for its sloppy, awkward chorus and called the song, "the weakest link on the album."[7]
Despite having no chart success, the EP managed to sell over 9,000 copies on iTunes.[3]
