Concerning distribution, the mixtape was released free via a number of sites. G-Eazy explained his decision in doing this in an interview with Earmilk in August 2011, "I just give it all away for free. I find it reaches more people that way. I understand that this new business model scares some people, including the major labels, but that's because they haven't quite figured out how to adapt yet."^[2]

The Endless Summer was well received by critics and the public. On djbooth.net The Endless Summer has an average score of 4.7 out of 5^[3] and several other good reviews on websites such as barryfest.com.^[4]
