Cho Ji-hyun of IZM wrote that the EP is "faithful to the grammar of the past, such as the crisp retro sound of the guitar and the simple chord progression, and expresses the raw sensibility" and praised the "lyrics and emotions of longing and recollection that embroider the entire album."[8] Esther Lim of The Oracle commended the duo's composition and songwriting that "show a deep understanding of the concept of nostalgia." She added that the EP's intrumentation amounts to a "light, hopeful, yet mildly somber tone that perfectly captures the experience of longing for a simpler time."[9]

Commercially, the title track ranked first on various music charts in South Korea, such as Bugs!, Genie, and Vibe upon its release and peaked at number 10 on the Gaon Digital Chart. In addition, other tracks from the EP, including "Sweet Memories," "Step," and "Blue Spring," charted on the Gaon Digital Chart.[10] Jannabi's Small Pieces I peaked at number 13 on the Gaon Album Chart and sold more than 10,800 as of November 2020.
