Puah Ziwei,writing for NME ,noted that the lead single "Black Mirror"'s music video "seem to draw inspiration from the late Michael Jackson" and the "lyrics also reference a number of the late pop icon's hits,including 'Bad' and 'Man In The Mirror'." [1]

In addition,Black Mirror has been listed as one of 'The Best K-Pop Tracks of 2021' by Dazed. Dazed stated " There's the slap of funk bass and washes of strings,elements that comprised the backbone of 1979's Off The Wall,but ONEUS's composers have recalibrated the analogue into a cool,impersonal sheen of digital production. It's a canny twist;a thumping,computerised nu-disco backdrop for the song's flesh and blood lament –the loss of human connection within the technological age." [4]
