Hyeon Minhyeong of IZM reviewed "Beenzino's dream, expressed through Shimmy Twice, seems immature because it is not bound by realistic conditions, but it is impressive to insist on the faded purity due to capitalism." [5] Shin Yerin of Art Insight described the album as "Lifes Like was refreshing to know that the combination of Beenzino and Shimmy Twice, who were rising stars in 2010, as well as the combination of jazz and hip-hop, which was not popular at the time, told a very everyday story."
