Son Minhyeon of IZM reviewed "Here to Stay is a process in which chance encounters result in new discoveries, and TRPP is an interesting serendipity in themselves." [3] Kim Byeongwoo of Music Y reviewed the track Here To Stay "The track retains the unique self-meditation character of shoegaze, but it has a strong sound that seems to have hardened the wick compared to their first album." [4] The member of the selection committee for the Korean Music Awards Bae Soontak described the album as "The album where the melody permeates the hearing while swimming in the sea of noise like a ray of light" and nominated it for the 2023 Best Modern Rock Album.
