Reception

The website UnitedKpop gave the album an 8/10 rating, praising its varied music styles and unique lyrical messages. According to the article, the album's title track "Swing" moves away from the "dubsteppy outlook" of their previous album, Breakdown , and instead offers a smoother, R&B-influenced sound. "Swing offers a more smooth, easy-to-listen to R&B sound with headbanging dance tracks with the occasional dubstep slipped in sneakily into it, of course." [6]

Seoulbeats described "Swing" as a "fabulously familiar" track. The review praises the music video's concept of office workers breaking into dance as "plain old awesome" and highlights the choreography as "wild, fast and furious." The author also notes that the video's aesthetic, with its black, white, and yellow color palette, is reminiscent of the group's "Sorry, Sorry" era. [7]
