Critical reception 0079-0088 was in generally positively received. Alexey Eremenko, of Allmusic, gave the album a 3.5 out of 5 stars rating.[album r1309568 yes Allmusic review] He said it "defines pop/rock" and praised the Gackts ability for which "there's no one to rival" him, possibly "in the rest of the world". Described it as "nominally hard rock", that "guitar riffs are carefully trimmed in power and balanced with danceable rhythms and keys in the background", because they "support and emphasize Gackt's smooth, sleek, unnaturally heartfelt voice". Eremenko, concluded that it's "exceptionally well done, moderately diverse, if not groundbreaking", and "generally impressive as hell". Track listing Gackt C. Gackt C.
