Reception

Critical reception

In an IZM review for Sea & Eugene & Shoo in October 2021, music critic Kim Seong-yeop wrote that "It is an album that builds on the mysterious fairy concept that is still considered a symbol of the group." He additionally noted that "They could have taken the safe route of following the youthful image of their debut song '(Cause) I'm your girl', but they were able to gain a differentiated edge in the battlefield of idol groups by trying experimental music with unique colors."^[2]

The album was commercially successful in South Korea, peaking at number one on the RIAK monthly album chart for two consecutive months in November and December 1998.^[3]^[4] In June 1999, it was reported that the album had sold more than 651,000 copies.^[5]
