American music outlet Consequence Of Sound noted that Jin has firmly established his identity as a solo artist. It observed, "When Jin began his promotions with the pre-release track 'I'll Be There', he mentioned that his goal was to bring happiness. Through this album, he seems to have achieved that goal."

The record is deeply connected to the roots of BTS's journey while delivering a warm and heartfelt message. It captivates fans while also appealing to New audiences."






In an interview with Billboard, Jin said, "While making the album, I was able to look back on how much ARMYs means to me. While working on each track, I thought about what I wanted to say to them and how I could bring them joy and happiness. And I expressed how much I missed them while we were apart."


Regarding his collaborations with American singer-songwriter MAX and popular Japanese rock band ONE KK ROCK, he said, "I'm so grateful to have been able to create 'Happy' with such talented artists."
