Critical reception

Music Y described the album as "Although there are no lyrics in the album, it is fully expressed and has the composition and style to avoid feeling burdened by the length of the song." Jeong Goowon of Weiv reviewed "What I felt in the band's debut album Why Perish was their strong presence to make it impossible to pass any part of the guitar, bass, or drum in vain. Nevertheless, the fact that the album was completed at a uniform density without breaking the balance means that the presence of each part is kept balanced by combining each other with tight tension within the album."
