Critical reception
Billboard described "Luna" as "the celebration of classic and modern-day sounds" by "blending of traditional instrumentation with dreamy synthesizers",[3] and similarly NME described "Luna" as "a homecoming of sorts", balancing between old and new with "gayageum strings warbling over trap beats touched by ’80s synthwave".[4]
