Contemplatively inspirational and dreary, it is a mature album that -- while perhaps less fun and pop-ish than Shoebox -- seems to return Epik to a more introverted space, inspired by what they've faced over their nearly decade and a half as one of Korea's most prominent hip-hop teams."{{cite web|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/k-town/8007065/epik-high-weve-done-something-wonderful-album-album|title=Epik High Returns With 'We've Done Something Wonderful' Album|date=October 23, 2017|website=Billboard|author=Tamar Herman}}
