Lee Jinseok of Rhythmer described the album as a "one MC 1 producer" format album that created a structured work without hurting each other's style. [6] The member of the selection committee for the 2018 Korean Music Awards Nam Seonghoon evaluated Kim Ximya's lyrics as lyrics that show superiority and emptiness, and described D. Sanders' production as "It creates an excellent sound while bringing out the vintage texture, and ironically, it does not lose its sophisticated style." [7]
