Reception
In its review of the album The Hankyoreh noted that although the overall musical style did not stray from that of the first two albums, the album's appeal lay in the relatable lyrics of the songs, listenable melodies and the members' own natural vocal styles.[4] It also commented that the group's appearance in their reality show g.o.d's Baby Diaries led to the surge in popularity. The album sold 600,000 copies within several days[5] and would go on to sell over 1.8 million copies, making them the first group since Seo Taiji & Boys to surpass the 1.5 million mark.
The album features several of g.o.d's most well-known and popular songs, such as "Lies", "One Candle" and "Sky Blue Balloon", which was dedicated to their fans and referred to their fandom color sky blue.[6] "Lies" dominated the Inkigayo rankings at the time of its release and won the "Triple Crown".
