In particular, “Consequence” praised the group, saying, “The members of LE SSERAFIM navigated their rollercoaster of a year with kindness, openness, and grace, welcoming more and more listeners into their incredibly fun world along the way.”

Through “Consequence”, LE SSERAFIM shared that their 2024 was filled with countless memories and experiences.

The outlet wrote, “Racking up 100 million Spotify streams in two months, ‘Crazy’ leaned into ballroom and its choreography (the video also featured dancers from the Iconic House of Juicy Couture) to produce a worthy addition to the band’s most fabulous category – songs that make you feel like the baddest bitch to ever exist.”

US magazine “Teen Vogue” also praised LE SSERAFIM, stating, “Capitalizing on the huge success of 2023’s ‘Eve, Psyche, & The Bluebeard’s Wife’, girl group LE SSERAFIM pulled out all the stops in this year’s musical event, ‘Crazy’”, adding that “If you think you’ve seen a trippier music video than ‘Crazy,’ think again.”
