NME gave the EP four stars, saying the EP "seems to have found a well-balanced equilibrium in both sound and vibe".[6] P. Claire Dodson described the EP for Teen Vogue as "a delightful, concise EP, especially on tracks like "WENEED", a pretty soft-pop hit with a power-pop chorus that highlights [Wonho's] smooth vocals".[7]
