In reviewing Point of View: U, Natasha Mulenga of NME called it "a triumphant introduction to his artistic independence" with which he "explores his budding artistry while shedding the constraints that comes with being an idol," giving the record 4 out of 5 stars.[7] EnVi Magazine called the EP "divine" and wrote that the fact that Yugyeom was able to create music capable of moving people emotionally was "an illustration of his diversity and range as a composer, lyricist and performer."[9]

Kim Hyo-jin of Rhythmer rated Point of View: U 2.5 out of 5 stars, finding the tracks very similar in rhythms, vibes and lyrics; on the other hand she appreciated the use of Yugyeom's lower vocal register, "which demonstrates his change and growth as a soloist."[8]
