Reception
Billboard explained that "Let's Not Fall in Love showcases the boy band at their most sentimental", and is a classic BigBang song with a unique sound because of a "lack of a definitive chorus and T.O.P and G-Dragon showing off new vocal colors instead of their usual personality-driven raps", while Zutter is a "hip-hop cut peppered with trappy snares, knocking percussion and woozy synths to emphasize both dudes' distinctive spitting styles.".[13] The Inquirer called it the most emotionally resounding work the band has showcased so far.[14] Osen said that the two single have a "different moods and colors" and that something only BigBang can do and they have wide artistic spectrum.[15]
