    The songs had nothing special especially the b-sides.. but at least they were listenable.

    I dont know why i expected something of more substance (musically, but especially LYRICALLY) but thats really not what this was at all which was really disappointing. Still fun and poppy and cute, but shallow and derivative and unoriginal at the same time? U can bop too it, but u would be bopping to a sound and essentially a song u have already heard regurgitated by different artists aI dont know why i expected something of more substance (musically, but especially LYRICALLY) but thats really not what this was at all which was really disappointing.

    This is a solid pop album and Nayeon’s charms shine. Her voice, visuals, and sweet attitude deliver a feel-good tracklist full of fluffiness and catchy hooks, but it’s also clear that her own colour still waits to be found.

    Sure, IM NAYEON is all glossy sweetness and may lack nutritional value, but does that really matter when the final product is this easy to sink your teeth into?

    Highlights include the Carly Rae Jepsen-esque, synth-washed jam "No Problem" (with Felix of Stray Kids) and the frantic sing-along anthem "POP!" Front-loaded with the immediate, pulse-pounding fare, IM NAYEON closes with a trio of sensual and smoothed-out tracks that would make early '90s R&B girl groups proud.
