Centered on themes of happiness, the album conveys Jin's heartfelt wish for everyone to find joy and contentment. International media outlets have praised the album for its emotional depth and artistic brilliance, marking another milestone in Jin’s creative journey.
The UK-based publication NME highlighted the significance of happiness in Jin's life, revisiting his earlier interviews where he often spoke about cherishing moments of joy and gratitude. NME noted that the album's title was a "natural choice," reflecting Jin’s consistent emphasis on positivity and connection with his fans. The review commended the album for capturing both light and shadow, stating, "Jin acknowledges the value of darkness as a precursor to true happiness, offering a nuanced understanding of joy."
Describing the album as a "record of encouragement," NME added that Happy encapsulates the universal experience of discovering happiness in everyday life.

Similarly, Rolling Stone lauded the album as a pivotal contribution to BTS's second chapter, emphasizing that it "fits seamlessly into the members’ creative journeys, adding another piece to the puzzle of their evolving artistry."
The album’s title track, Running Wild, received widespread acclaim for its lively and uplifting tone. Consequence of Sound noted that the song perfectly embodies Jin's bright and cheerful persona, calling it a standout that "feels like a direct reflection of his playful yet grounded spirit."
Billboard featured an in-depth interview with Jin, where he reflected on the album’s creation. He shared, "This album gave me a chance to express how much ARMY means to me. It allowed me to channel my longing for our connection during times apart." The outlet praised the album as a testament to Jin's creative growth, showcasing his ability to explore new musical dimensions.
Critics have also noted the album’s universal appeal. Happy encourages listeners to find joy not just in extraordinary moments but also in the every day, resonating deeply with a global audience.
