Background
Do Jaemyeong interviewed that the band recorded the band's second album after he was discharged from the military, but it took a long time.[1] The band said the recording period was long, but that's why they were able to record in more detail. The album's track Senna is a tribute to Brazilian racing driver Ayrton Senna, who died in an accident at the age of 34.[4]

Na Wonyoung of Weiv reviewed, "Loro's explored their inner self with Pax and their dream with Dream(s), comes out of W.A.N.D.Y and explores you, us, the world, and the stories in it. The result of a long journey and the declaration that we are not dead are beautifully combined."[6] The member of the selection committee for the Korean Music Awards Lee Kyeongjoon described the album as "W.A.N.D.Y maintained the superb view of post-rock presented by the first album Pax, but expanded its scope to progressive rock through post-britpop, and in the process, it showed smartness that did not fall into "the promiscuity arising from overdrive.""[3]
