The initial physical album was released in three versions; Beautiful, Brilliant, and Beside while the repackaged album was released in two versions; Shine Forever and Complete X-Clan.

Critical reception

"Beautiful" was described as advancing Monsta X's "signature sound of hip-hop mixed with EDM elements," with particular note of the "powerful rap" with "flawless vocals, especially lead vocalist Kihyun".[2] "Shine Forever" was described as "a natural future bass follow up to the electronic-heavy 'Beautiful'".[3]
