Critical Reception of "Batter Up"
Upon its release, "Batter Up" received mixed reviews from critics and fans alike. While some praised the debut single for its promising vocals and captivating choreography, others expressed disappointment, noting that the song lacked originality and failed to distinguish itself from the sounds of YG Entertainment's previous girl groups.
Yoo Ji-hee from Daily Sports highlighted the challenge BabyMonster faced in establishing a unique identity separate from their labelmates, 2NE1 and BLACKPINK. She remarked that while the song had a familiar taste, it was not distinctive enough to leave a lasting impact. Rhian Daily from NME echoed similar sentiments, rating the song two out of five stars and describing it as a tired formula with lazy songwriting.
