Perfume received positive reviews from critics, who praised NCT DoJaeJung's vocals and the songs' composition, citing its difference from NCT's usual hip hop and experimental music.[3][4] The romantic theme of the EP was also noted by critics, which NME describes as "an indulgent tale of a torrid romance in six parts."[5] It also earned commercial success both digitally and physically, selling 841,976 copies on the Circle Album Chart as of June 2, 2023, making it the best-selling debut album by an SM Entertainment act and the best-selling album by a K-pop sub-unit.[6] It also holds the record for the highest first week sales for a sub-unit on the Hanteo Chart.[7][8]
