Ian Cohen of Pitchfork reviewed "Paraglow, a new joint release from the Seoul artists feels like a true collaboration, fusing their distinct styles with shoegaze production and alt-rock guitars."^[6] Konstantinos Pappis of Our Culture Mag described the track Wheel (운전대) as "the 15-minute mammoth of a closing track, that overflows with the most astounding ideas, leaving you dizzy and breathless", and the EP was named the best EP of 2022 by magazine.^[7]
