}}
Rhian Daly of ''[[NME]]''  called the EP "pure brilliance" in his five-star review, saying it "moves cohesively through dark and delicious tracks that draw from different facets of R&B and dance-inflected pop, each incorporating opposing forces of light and dark, as hinted in the good vs evil narrative".<ref name="nme-review" /> ''NME'' listed the EP as one of the best Asian albums of 2022, highlighting "Dead Man Runnin'" as the EP's key track and writing: "''28 Reasons'' is a dark, existential story told through serpentine lyricism, watertight sonics and above all, Seulgi’s dulcet voice, which cuts through the haze like a light at the end of a dark tunnel. ''28 Reasons'' is a solid start for Seulgi as she begins to explore her creative voice and hones her craft." South Korea publication ''[[Idology]]'' listed the EP as one of the best K-pop albums of the year, praising the themes of duality of the protagonist.
