Reception

Adam Greenburg on Allmusic gave the album three out of five stars, stating that "The album doesn't deliver anything new to the world of Japanese boy bands, but it keeps Kat-Tun in form. They don't obviously improve on previous works or detract from their legacy, as it were. Perfectly middle of the road."
