Critical reception[]

Writing for Idology as 'Mimyo', musician Moon Yong-min noted that the song "progresses neatly with a refreshing rhythm", pointing out that the "organization of drums and the guitar gently varies over the progression of each section". Citing the difference between CNBLUE's music, he expressed that "showing a sense of maturity with this kind of relaxed and refreshingly moderate song is not a bad idea".[8]
