Irene's performance was well-loved by her international fanbase, but the reception was not the same in South Korea. Following the film's release, Irene was criticized for her awkward way of speaking and her unnatural expression. According to Sport Kyunghang, commenters claimed that Irene "did not convey emotions" and that "it would have bombed completely if her face was not pretty."
Irene was voted as the second world film actor in South Korea in 2021 at the 5th Raspberry Film Festival, receiving six votes. First place went to her labelmate, EXO member Chanyeol.
