Critical reception

The lead single "Jealousy" had one music show win on The Show on April 17.[1] "Jealousy" was praised for its fresh sound as a "a poppy dance track swelling with obnoxious synths and their favorite low brasses", although as noted by Taylor Glasby it returned to more of Monsta X's earlier style of heavy EDM and trap singles than their last single "Dramarama".[2][3]
