It received generally positive feedback.[5][6] Commentator from Douban Music praises the songwriting of the songs but criticized the arrangement. Also, she thinks the album does not have any catchy melody as they are in the same style, where "Rescue Me" is the highlight of the album as the melody is quite catchy. For the cover, she thinks Ng does not perform well as compared to Shirley Kwan. She continues, the label was blamed as this album is too market-oriented and stifling artist's talent. [7] Many from other music platforms praised "Smoke" for its melody and lyrics. [6][8]
