Reviews for the album have generally been positive. Yang Seonghui of Munhwa Ilbo said, "she now has an indisputable position in the dance music industry following the success of her songs, Poison, Invitation, and Molla." However, Park Eunjoo of Hankook Ilbo cited an anonymous source, criticising her for using "too much sex-appeal" but Park also said that Uhm's performances were positively received by the public.
This album is the most commercially successful album of Uhm's career to date. Two songs (Molla, Festival) from the album topped the charts and she was won numerous important music awards in South Korea, including Golden Disk Awards and Mnet Korea Music Video Awards.
