Critical reception
Han Soo-jin, writing for IZE magazine praised BtoB for their 10 years existence in the industry and their message of hope to their short-lived colleagues. She also wrote about "Blue Moon" performance, "As seen in a musical, it showed a stage of determination that was different from before with a spectacular stage use and dramatic narrative. Those who seemed to be competing only with vocals made them realize the potential of their 10th year with a challenging aspect that felt catharsis of novelty while saving their organs.[9] In an interview dated on June 11, Kingdom's main director Lee Young-joo PD chose "Blue Moon" stage as one of the most memorable stages: "It was a stage that showed BtoB's great determination to prepare a competition with a non-famous B-side song in the competition program, and showed a witty performance with the La La Land concept. And it was a performance that was dedicated to Melodys who supported BtoB, that left a deep impression.[10]
Live performance
On the 9th episode of Kingdom: Legendary War, the group performed "Blue Moon (Cinema Version)" for the first time with (G)I-dle's Miyeon as a hidden card to help BtoB's No Limit stage. The stage was presented as a musical movie-like stage with the concept of the movie La La Land and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood with Peniel's piano performance and Miyeon's role caught in a love storyline between Minhyuk and Changsub.[11][12][13]
After the stage, they received praises from contestants saying, "What can't these hyungs do?", "It's really cool." and "It was a stage with a perfect texture."[14][13]iKon's Bobby commented, "I didn't reveal it, but it's fatal to be this sexy. If it were a woman, I'd already had a love letter." What can't these hyungs do?" and "It's really cool."[14] BtoB placed third in the round with cumulative points of 3,314.303, behind SF9 and Stray Kids.[15]
