In the MV's comment section, fans were undoubtedly hyped up for BABYMONSTER's new song and Ahyeon's much-awaited return. Praises from K-netz were also uploaded in a forum, where they admired the music for deviating from the "easy-listening" formula.
- "The bridge where Rora & Haram are singing is so dark and creepy sound and I love it so much!"
- "Thank you YG for giving this group the dark concept, it fits them so well! This is their own sound!"
- "The rap verse of this trio between Ruka, Ahyeon, and Asa will FOREVER be iconic.
- "This is the best way to make a comeback for Ahyeon. She sang, she rapped, she danced, and she served!"
- "It's as if they're saying, 'We're YG so we don't need an easy listening or trendy song' like that."
- "It's nice hearing a song like that where everyone is talented, and the song is freaking good too. And nobody has an unpleasant voice."
However, in a separate platform, netizens drew out criticism. They pointed out how much the song would fit BLACKPINK and even questioned YG's decision-making behind the production.
Some specifically criticized the song's chorus, while others called out the "recycled" production in YG songs. Read their reactions below:
- "You can practically tell which verses were meant for Rosé and which were for Jisoo."
- "I wonder what YG thinking to create this kind of music. The girls have talent and fans (MV already surpassed 10 million views as of writing)"
- "Did YG think the fans will always eat everything that they serve?"
- "We all clowned Batter Up meanwhile that was better than whatever the f*ck this is. Never change YG, I guess. This is gonna be a long 7-8 years."
- "I cannot take a song where they keep singing 'sheesh' seriously. it's unironically cringe."
- "It's not about 'we're not like the other groups' energy but more about having a recycled concept. it's insane how YG keeps doing this s**t again and again."
- "YG is officially over. I doubt they will ever bounce back and even come close to their peak again. The world has moved on, it's not 2016 anymore."
- "Why bother changing if people eat everything they release?"
