Nylon Magazine also featured j-hope’s new song as one of the 10 best music releases of the week. In their article, they wrote, “j-hope thunderously fuses classic hip-hop and arena rock on 'More', a shocking and theatrical new vision from the BTS emcee.”

It was also previously reported that “Jack In The Box” was included in GRAMMYs’ “Must-hear Albums” for the month of July.

In fact, no less than the GRAMMYs was among the first to report on this exciting news. They wrote, “Though we know j-hope is skilled in lyric writing and producing, it's cool to know he worked on composing and conceptualizing his debut album as well. This means that his own flair will be apparent throughout the project, and should be an accurate representation of how the artist has evolved as a soloist.”
