Reception
[edit]Critical reception
[edit]In an IZM review for Sea & Eugene & Shoo in October 2021, music critic Kim Seong-yeop wrote that "It is an album that builds on the mysterious fairy concept that is still considered a symbol of the group." He additionally noted that "They could have taken the safe route of following the youthful image of their debut song '(Cause) I'm your girl', but they were able to gain a differentiated edge in the battlefield of idol groups by trying experimental music with unique colors."[2]
