[10] Hong Yoo from The Korea Herald praised the song, writing that "Seventeen went wild blasting its fierce energy not only through the music itself but also through choreography".

[13] Featured on the list of the 100 best songs of 2023 by Rolling Stone, "Super" ranked number 47 and was dubbed "a victory-lap single".
