Park Sangjoon of Music Y said "It's hard to pick only the best one song in Team Baby. As such, all songs are beautiful and boast excellent completeness."[6] Kang Minjeong of IZM reviewed "Despite filling most songs with the theme of common love, the reason why they are not burdened or bitten is because of their unique dry texture."[5]
