NME | [2] |
Rhian Daly of NME wrote that Muse "still captures an ambivalent tension, if far more subtle" than Jimin's debut, Face (2023). Daly remarked that "you can feel it in the way Jimin sings of love, distinctly different between the two halves of this album"—the first with songs that "veer from exuberant to tender", and the second with "sultrier" tracks. Daly concluded that while it "takes fewer risks than Face", it nevertheless "forms a cohesive, polished whole". [2]
Muse debuted at number two on the South Korean Circle Album Chart, with over 771,000 copies sold in its first week. [3] It debuted at number three on the Japanese Oricon Albums Chart with over 83,000 physical copies sold. [4] In the United States, Jimin achieved his second number two debut with Muse on the August 3, 2024, issue of the Billboard 200. The album earned 96,000 equivalent album units, comprising 74,000 pure album sales; 15,000 streaming equivalent units; and 7,000 track equivalent units. [5]
