Kim Banya of IZM reviewed Your Hands is not just about throwing up in the first place, the album is accumulation of experience and it's about bleeding training.[6] Cho Jihwan of Weiv described the album as "A work that has written down common landscapes in common languages, but has dug into more intimate places".[7] The selection committee for 2017 Korean Music Awards Choi Minwoo described the album as the wonderful "adult" pop that comes up empty and passes through intensely and leaves a long lingering image, and the album nominated for the Best Pop Album.[8]
