Rolling Stone's Tim Chan also gave a good review to THE ALBUM, especially because of its mix of different music styles and genres. He likened the album to a shot of adrenaline. However, he was disappointed that the album was too short, He said that the brevity of the album made it seem like the party was over just as it was beginning.
