Critical reception
Rania's debut was met with mixed reviews in Korea, as many viewers found the group's image too provocative.[3] As a result, Rania were forced to change their choreography and make minor changes to the outfits.[4] Riley himself announced he would disassociate himself with the group as he believed that the group and comeback were attempts to use him for his name and status.[5] Despite this, singles "Dr. Feel Good" and "Masquerade both charted at 99 and 192 on the GAON chart respectively.[6] [7]
