Critical reception
Black Mirror was listed as one of 'The Best K-Pop Tracks of 2021' by Dazed. Dazed stated "There's the slap of funk bass and washes of strings, elements that comprised the backbone of 1979's Off The Wall, but ONEUS's composers have recalibrated the analogue into a cool, impersonal sheen of digital production. It's a canny twist; a thumping, computerised nu-disco backdrop for the song's flesh and blood lament – the loss of human connection within the technological age."[5]
Puah Ziwei, writing for NME, noted that the lead single "Black Mirror"'s music video "seem to draw inspiration from the late Michael Jackson" and the "lyrics also reference a number of the late pop icon's hits, including 'Bad' and 'Man In The Mirror'."[1]
