Public gave a highly positive rating on the average of 87% on '''Oricorn Music Survey''', the highest ever of a debuting artist this year and at #3 of all times debuting artist. '''Aacki Sachyeo''' of Music Station commented it as one of the best self composing debut ever. ''"You would never expect such works by a only debuting artist at fifteen [years of age]. This certainly raises expectations for her debut album and she will have high standards to fill up to but certainly someone very promising."''
