Rhian Daly of NME said that Glitch Mode "feels like a balancing act", where "fairly lowkey" tracks are alternated with NCT Dream's typical experimental songs. She commented positively on the album's more "animated" tracks, while she noted that tracks like "It's Yours" and "Drive" are not memorable. [6] Conversely, Jung Soo-min of IZM wrote that the first half of the album doesn't express the "individuality" of NCT Dream, while she commented positively on the "nostalgic" second half of the album and highlighted songs like "Better Than Gold" and "Drive". Jung thought the album was not on par with Hot Sauce due to "the obsession" with the "neo" concept that has been established for all NCT units, since it doesn't allow NCT Dream to explore more "hopeful" themes, which she believes are the group's strong suit. [47] The album was featured in Time 's list "The Best K-pop Songs and Albums of 2022 So Far". [48]

Commercial performance

Glitch Mode surpassed 2.03 million pre-orders on the day of release, the second-highest ever for an act under SM and exceeding NCT Dream's previous career high of 1.71 million pre-orders for Hot Sauce . [49] [4] The album sold 700,000 copies on its first day after release. [50] As of April 3, Glitch Mode recorded sales of 2,100,339 copies within one week, breaking the group's previous personal record of two million copies sold in 16 days for Hot Sauce. [51] On the day of its release, it was announced that Beatbox surpassed 1.4 million pre-orders. [40] On June 13, 2022, it was reported that Beatbox had sold 1.52 million copies. Combining Glitch Mode and Beatbox, the album has sold 3.61 million copies. [52]

Glitch Mode debuted at number 50 on the US Billboard 200 dated April 9, 2022, having sold 15,000 album-equivalent units, [53] becoming NCT Dream's first entry on the chart, [54] as well as number two on the Billboard World Albums chart. [55]

Accolades

Glitch Mode won the Album Bonsang [lower-alpha 1] at the 37th Golden Disc Awards. [56] It won Album of the Year at the Genie Music Awards, an award show which selects its winners mainly based on the chart data gathered from the Genie Music platform. [57] NCT Dream also won Singer of the Year at the ceremony, earning two out of the three daesang [lower-alpha 2] that were awarded. [57] The result was contested, since the group won over South Korean trot singer Lim Young-woong, one of the best selling digital artists of the year. [57] The public raised concerns over SM Entertainment's possible involvement, as the company was already caught up in a similar controversy in 2018 and 2019. [57] Writing for Sisa Journal, cultural critic Ha Jae-geun commented that "there's still a long way to go" to restore awards ceremonies' credibility. [57]
