Reception
We've Done Something Wonderful peaked at No. 6 on the South Korean Gaon chart,[4] and No. 2 on the US World Albums chart.[5] Billboard gave the album a positive review, stating "Wonderful is a testament to the trio's place in the Korean music industry, with the band adapting and drawing on popular sounds while maintaining their unique identity as an act that weighs its music with introspective lyrics. Contemplatively inspirational and dreary, it is a mature album that -- while perhaps less fun and pop-ish than Shoebox -- seems to return Epik to a more introverted space, inspired by what they've faced over their nearly decade and a half as one of Korea's most prominent hip-hop teams."[6]
