Kim Seonghwan of Music Y reviewed "Kim Sa-wol embodies her experiences and thoughts as stories that are independent and have a consistent flow one by one through a speaker collectively referred to as Suzanne. Kim Hae-won's arrangement direction also leads listeners to focus on the charm of her vocals, which capture both pure and tender sensibility and secret sensual energy."[7] Lee Seonyeob of Weiv described the album as "It's a collection of essays written by a persona, Suzanne full of Kim Sa-wol's voice using the sound of an acoustic guitar as a letter paper,"[8]
