Kim Doheon of IZM reviewed "The music of those who lost their independent direction of life and transferred the reality of young people to a drowsy guitar melody sadly still has strong persuasion."[6] Lee Ijae of Indiepost described the album as "The helpless, depressing sensibilities and honest lyrics of youth, which are not as enjoyable as they are."[1]
