During the early stages of her training with Bini, Colet faced challenges in interacting with other members due to a language barrier, as Cebuano (Bisaya) is her first language.

Many fans refer to Colet as "Anger", the always angry character from the Inside Out films, due to her "tough" demeanor.{{Cite magazine | first=Elaine | last=Carag-Calderon | date=November 14, 2024 | title=BINI Colet on Being Hyper-Focused on Performing at Her Best | url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/people/digital-covers/bini-colet-on-metro-35th-anniversary-issue/39248 | magazine=Metro | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/P970l | archive-date=June 30, 2025}} However, Colet herself has pushed back against the nickname, repeatedly telling the public that she is not constantly angry.{{Cite web | last=Loreto | first=Julienne | date=March 15, 2025 |title='Bisaya' |url=https://opinion.inquirer.net/181631/bisaya |website=The Philippine Daily Inquirer | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/UwyCJ | archive-date=March 17, 2025}} She has attributed her personality, which Elaine Carag-Calderon of Metro called "fierce", to her Visayan upbringing. She added, "I realized when I started to work in showbiz that it's not healthy to say yes to everything. It's not healthy in general, for your heart and your mind." On Kuan on One, she further explained that as a Visayan, her manner of speaking has been misunderstood as "angry".{{Cite magazine | first=Liezel | last=dela Cruz | date=July 24, 2024 | title=BINI Colet names two actresses she dreams of acting with in an action-drama project | url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/articles-videos/bini-colet-names-two-actresses-she-dreams-of-acting-with-in-an-action-drama-project-22887 | website=ABS-CBN News | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/PCavw | archive-date=June 30, 2025}} An essay published in The Philippine Daily Inquirer's Young Blood column{{Efn|an opinion column featuring essays by young Filipino writers below the age of 30}} identified the persistence of the Anger nickname as an example of negative ethnic stereotyping towards Visayan people.

Writing for the American magazine Positively Filipino, Julienne Loreto credited Colet for increasing the general public's interest in the Cebuano language. Similarly, a research paper published in 2024 recognized her as a celebrity who provided representation for Visayans and Cebuano speakers in the media.{{Cite journal | title=AmBEAT sa Imo!: Wika at Kultura sa mga Awiting Visayas (VisPop) | trans-title=Whatever!: Language and Culture in Visayan Songs (VisPop) | journal=Katipunan | publisher=Archīum Ateneo | volume=12 | issue=1 | first1=Mikaella Rianne | last1=Elfa | first2=Juliana Krishna | last2=Guevarra | first3=Abbygail | last3=Solano | date=June 2024 | pages=229–250 | url=https://archium.ateneo.edu/katipunan/vol12/iss1/12/ | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250602232136/https://archium.ateneo.edu/katipunan/vol12/iss1/12/ | archive-date=June 2, 2025 | url-status=bot: unknown | url-access=limited | language=tl | access-date=June 2, 2025 }}

Various publications have recognized Colet's musicianship and diverse talents. In an article published on September 26, 2022, Hans Ethan Carbonilla of the Philippine magazine Parcinq lauded her singing skills. He wrote, "Maybe if we had that kind of vocal ability, we wouldn't shut up.

Rappler's Gelo Gonzales noted that her solo performance was the night's only fully acoustic song during a Bini live show in Alpas, an event venue in La Union, which took place on May 30, 2024.

A Positively Filipino article quoted Caroline Parry, a British voice teacher, who praised Colet's breath control and diaphragm support when singing. She described her as a "very, very good singer" and said that while all of the Bini members are good singers, Colet's voice is the "crown jewel" of the group. Parry described her as the group's best vocalist in terms of technique. Jessica Robb, another voice teacher from the USA, also lauded Colet's ability to resonate in her pharynx, which produces "highly refined, robust" high notes.
