Critics thought highly of the album. What's In? reiviewers called the album a "must item," noting the album's "rhythm, groove and overflowing cool." Yosuke Motoi of Hot Express enjoyed the contrast between the album's issue-pressing title and the songs' lyrics, which instead of being confronting, are introspectively asking what (the songs' protagonists) should be doing. Morio Mori of Listen Japan felt that the album was "scaled up" compared to her previous works, being impressed with the album's breath. Ai's vocals were praised by many reviewers with CDJournal calling the vocals on "Love Is..." were "surely a thing to give you goosebumps."
Ai won two awards for the videos on the album. "I Wanna Know" won the Best Female Video award at the 2007 Space Shower Music Video Awards, and "Believe" won Best R&B Video at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards Japan.
