Critical reception

Billboard named "Tomboy" the song the best K-pop song of 2022, praising the song's message, art direction, lyricism, and production writing: "the expletive-laced, punk sound of “Tomboy” was more aggressive and grittier than anything fans had seen from the outfit to date...Instead of coming back with something safe or easy-listening, (G)I-dle moved ahead with a track that spoke to its core message of presenting the group’s true selves. [15] Similar to Billboard, Teen Vogue 's Anton Rohr praised the song's punk production, message and lyrics. [16] The Korea Herald 's Yoo Hong named the song one of the highlights of 2022, writing, "(G)I-dle comes back for ‘vengeance’ after a yearlong hiatus with its megahit song 'Tomboy,' a rebellious pop-rock song with an ear-catching melody and eye-catching choreography."

[17] The Telegraph 's Nandini Chakrabarti wrote that "the lyrics connected with audiences worldwide and paved the way for the group to emerge from its downfall in 2021. Tomboy’s success and the punk vibe of the song pushed the group to even greater heights of recognition."

The group's departure from their usual style helped them gain prominence in the girl group scene.
