Critical reception

Park Byeongwoon of Music Y reviewed "Just like the flow of Stream of Consciousness, their previous album, The Borderline Between Hope and Despair also leaves a strong and faint lingering feeling as if it were poking the lungs." The member of the selection committee for the Korean Music Awards Hong Jeongtaek described the album as "The Borderline Between Hope and Despair is a heavy resonance album with maturity, reflection, and a bit of romance", and the album won Best Modern Rock Album.
