Critical reception
edit
Jeong Byeongwook of Music Y reviewed "Gongjoong Doduk is an album like a eloquent speaker that talks according to the flow of consciousness, but does not confuse listeners with their elegant speech skills, but rather misleads them."[5] Park Joonwoo of Weiv described the album as "The freshness created by guitars, vocals, and other sounds is still an inspiration to listeners a long time after the album was released."[6]
