Tanu I. Raj from NME gave Ad Mare 2 out of 5 stars, calling it "inconsistent" and "choppy" due to the uneven transitions from electropop to pop rock to hip hop in "O.O" Although he appreciated the simpler melodies in "Tank", he concluded that the latter was not able "to alleviate the damage that 'O.O' does".[10]
Ad Mare debuted at number three on South Korea's Gaon Album Chart in the chart issue dated February 20–26, 2022;[11] on the monthly chart, the single album debuted at number three in the chart issue for February 2022 with 161,312 copies sold.[12]
On February 18, 2022, JYP Entertainment announced that the group debut showcase would be postponed to March 1 after member Bae was diagnosed with COVID-19.[13]
