    Looking back, it is not the first time that we can see Jimin participating so actively in the compositions, lyrics and production of the songs in which he performs.

We saw him producing the melody for Blood Sweet and Tears, Writing the lyrics for Promisse, Christmas Love, Boyz with fun. Nonetheless,
    this time bringing something more personal and intimate to him, Face puts a little more into his experiences, feelings about loneliness, desires and liberation.
    Apart from the resounding success of the track Like Crazy, the tracks Alone and Face off captured a different kind of attention for me, as the melody really pleases me and the lyrics are full of sincerity and fear. Seeing Jimin, credited in all the lyrics of his first album, shows us how genuine what he says about himself and his experiences highlighted in the lyrics he composed is. Furthermore, we have an extra track called Letter as a special gift for fans.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just not my cup of tea. Many songs on the album are repetitive, just so that it gets stuck in the head. Doesn't necessarily make them nice to hear. Besides, the message are dull also. Last, the autotune is not my taste either.… Expand

    listening to Face is like daydreaming. jimin's voice is so angelic and dreamy. every word intoned by his voice expresses feelings. in every song i feel that jimin himself is telling me his experiences and emotions. it's really fascinating the way his voice transmits so much. the transition between each song is impeccable. really the more i listen to this album the more i am surprised howlistening to Face is like daydreaming. jimin's voice is so angelic and dreamy. every word intoned by his voice expresses feelings. in every song i feel that jimin himself is telling me his experiences and emotions. it's really fascinating the way his voice transmits so much. the transition between each song is impeccable. really the more i listen to this album the more i am surprised how capable jimin is being this his debut.… Expand

    Não entendi bem o conceito aqui...não achei as faixas coesas entre si, principalmente o single que destoa muito mesmo do resto delas. As letras tão são um pouco rasas e nada muito de inovador. Supostamente para um debut album o artista deveria mostrar seu estilo ou mostrar suas cores... esse album não me disse nada sobre ele.

    The album is nothing short of a masterpiece. It showcases Jimin’s incredible vocal range and songwriting abilities. “Face” is Jimin’s remarkable achievement as a solo artist and a testament to his musical talent. With “Face”, Jimin proves that he is not just a member of record breaking and global sensation BTS, but a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.

    Las canciones son poco buenas y decepciona que todas tengan un ritmo western y no coreano como debe ser, tomó el camino fácil. Todas las canciones están escritas por muchas personas pero ninguna está echa al 100% por el que se supone es el artista, además de que su voz es terriblemente aguda e incómoda de escuchar, llena de altos innecesarios. Una copia barata de The Weeknd.

    En este álbum Jimin nos muestra más de el como artista y persona, explorando sus sentimientos y lo que nos quiere transmitir, es muy disfrutable y los videos musicales son increíbles.

    The album very well portrays the feelings of loneliness that a person has felt in the midst of the pandemic. The sounds are amazing and take you through a beautiful and sentimental journey.

    I heard about the album from Reddit and thought of giving it a listen since it's short. Always been fond of his voice, especially in Filter. I was impressed that he's tied together so many genres.

    Nothing much to say about Jimin's solo debut album, you only have to start listening to it. He exceeded my expectations on how to blew up a solo debut.

    I'm quite disappointed by this album, had great expectations for Jimin to finally debut with a solo album but it falls short in all senses. Don't understand why people are calling it a bold move, for me it was rather conservative as it doesn't offer anything Jimin hasn't already done with BTS.

Don't understand why people are calling it a bold move, for me it was rather conservative as it doesn't offer anything Jimin hasn't already done with BTS.

    Face-off and Alone are very forgettable songs. Set Me Free Pt. 2 could have been a great song but I don't know who decided to put so much autotune in it, it physically hurts the ears and makes it unbearable to listen, outside of that the song could've been part of Map Of The Soul: 7 album not really something I see as bold or unique, he's done it all before.

    The title track, Like Crazy is actually a really good but it feels out of place surrounded by all the other bland songs. It's the perfect song to drive to at midnight with the windows down. Loved the 80's vibe of the music, it's very danceable and the lyrics are quite catchy. I wished the album didn't eclipsed how good this song actually is.

    Overall I think Jimin failed to show new sides of him as the boldest thing he does with this album is cursing or letting a woman caress his face in the Like Crazy choreography. The album was supposed to showcase his true authentic self but for me it felt really forced and unnatural, nothing wrong with having songs with lyrics that aren't specific to a real situation but the marketing pointed to be a very honest album and this was not it.
    Previous solo songs have been more outstanding, Lie or Filter for example, and have actually shown new sides of him.
    If this album proves anything is that Jimin is still green as a solo artist and has a long way to go.    … Expand

    While it’s a short EP, it doesn’t disappoint. If anything, he presents himself as a soloist with an unexpected sound for his high-pitched countertenor voice and very far from those earlier ballads we have heard from him.

    Balancing both his vulnerable and fiercely intense sides, he manages to reveal more of himself in 20 minutes than he has to date.

    Its six tracks wrap all too quickly, and while it was specified that Jimin doesn’t consider this a full-length project, it does leave the listener craving more music in this vein somewhere down the road — it’s worth repeating that the energy of “Face-off” is one that he should consider chasing most of all.
