"The fresh six-piece show promise (...), but fall flat at key moments ... The moniker adopted by Le Sserafim seems like a signpost of what to expect from the rookie girl group. An anagram of "I'm fearless", it hints at strength and unflinching courage, while the pseudo-French feel of its rearranged letters adds an element of classiness to it too. But on their debut mini-album - also called 'Fearless', just to hammer that point home - the HYBE girl group only live up to their name some of the time ... The title track, in particular, is weak, although it does get points for not taking the en vogue route of in-your-face girl crush bangers ... The potential is there - now they just need the songs to let them unleash it on the world".

""Fearless" is not fearless enough: Chic and fashionable, the six-member group can so far be summarised as a walking luxury perfume ad. The glossy, commercialised sheen of their teaser videos and music style is so unmistakable that it seems almost intentional - but only almost. While this style sets them apart from their contemporaries, it is also hard to tell whether the way these girls have been so enthusiastically commodified is meant to be ironic - a question mark that leaves their audience just a little at unease ... As it is, the EP's wide reach across genres lessens its impact with each and leaves the album overall feeling a little bit scattered and hesitant. That said, they do still achieve their overall aim of demonstrating strength, thanks in large part to the heavy use of bass in the album".
