Writing for Ize, Kim Sung-dae revealed that he "does not want to give [ 5-Star] five stars as the title", and questioned, "Isn't it a blessing in some way that incompleteness can be a compliment?" He summarized that "to critics, five stars mean a perfect score, but to Stray Kids, 5-Star just means 'weird and brilliant.'" [15] Lee Jae-hoon of Newsis dubbed the album as a "K-pop adventure". [67] AllMusic's Neil Z. Young described that the album "wild ride[s] through genres and emotions," and "playing out like a hit to the head with a dozen anthems that only briefly allow for a breather." [64] Jeong Da-yeol from IZM commented the album "although the instrumental source and composition of each section with irregularities in the genre may take on a crude appearance, it took a familiar ride, arranged addictive repetitions, and hit the listeners' brains safely."
