River’s version of the track was featured prominently in the second season of the web series Teenagers, which was written and directed by M. H. Murray, who attended Clarkson Secondary School with River.

River has been called a “conscious rapper” on several occasions. In 2016, XXL praised him for being “fearlessly earnest,” and described his music as “a touch of J. Cole for his introspective lyrics and flow delivered over solid, stadium-ready beats”.

HipHopCanada wrote that the track “Every Evening”, “nicely showcased [River’s] ability to tell a story, deliver a message and be mindful of keeping the music catchy.” Chris Dart of the Torontoist called The Calm a “big, ambitious, high-concept project,” concluding that “in an era where rappers are afraid to tackle issues, River doesn’t shy away from talking about things like gun violence, the justice system, and teenage pregnancy.”

Upon release, The Storm received positive reviews; Erin Lowers from Exclaim! wrote that River is “secure enough with himself to be vulnerable, to make mistakes and express emotions,” further noting that “The Storm demonstrates the growing pains of modern day rap — balancing the ability to be lyrically aggressive without being heartless…” The mixtape featured production from Wondagurl. In support of the mixtape, River embarked on a college and university tour in late 2015.
