Rhian Daly of NME called the album "nothing short of electric" with "discordant layers viscerally reflect[ing] the album's emotions of feeling out of place and its eventual message" that "rewards repeat and close listens, each track full of little details that elevate each go round".[2] Maura Johnston of Rolling Stone described it as "psychedelia-tinged and soulful, its lyrics' intense self-interrogation balanced by music that feels like an invite to further explorations".[3]
The album was recognized as one of the best albums of the first half of the year by Rolling Stone, Billboard, The Associated Press, and NME.[4][5][6][7] Billboard wrote "RM simply refuses to acknowledge the existence of any such boundaries over these 34 minutes, with 11 songs that careen from hip-hop to jazz to punk to R&B to Fela Kuti-styled Afrobeats — while all still sounding like a coherent and natural artistic extension of one man's creative vision" and compared him to genreless artists like Tyler the Creator.[5]
Commercial performance[edit]
The album debuted at number two on the South Korean Circle Album Chart with over 585,000 copies sold of its two versions.[8] It also debuted at number two on the Japanese Oricon Albums Chart with over 23,000 sales.[9]
