That uncertainty is part of the process of growing. "Blood Sweat & Tears" is a song that shows how one thinks, chooses, and grows."[28] Symbolism such as the 'wings' were representations of growth, with SUGA adding, "The song relays an optimistic determination to use our wings to go far, even if we are met with temptations in life."[28] Jungkook explained during the group's comeback preview show on V LIVE, that his solo track, "Begin", was about his journey to Seoul and meeting the BTS members.[7] V revealed his song, "Stigma", describing it as "a song under the neo-soul genre".

Wings received mostly positive reviews from critics, for tackling social issues such as mental health and female empowerment. Fuse's Jeff Benjamin wrote, "The rising K-pop phenoms' new album is doing it right by letting their seven members spread their artistic wings and solidifying their individual identities—all while keeping the band identity strong as ever."[7] Fuse listed Wings at number 8 on their list of the 20 Best Albums of 2016, praising the album's "vulnerable and honest song material" and diverse tracks.[115] The album also topped Billboard's "10 Best K-Pop Albums 2016" list. Billboard branded the album an "accomplishment all its own", praising BTS' involvement in co-writing and producing as well as the compositional choice to allow each member a solo song reflecting individual musical style, showing that "they can compete with top pop acts." The music chart also described BTS' music as "forward-thinking", referring to the tropical house and EDM sounds on the album and lyrics that discussed the darker side of mental health issues.[116] Rolling Stone's Nick Murray named Wings "one of the most conceptually and sonically ambitious pop albums of 2016." [117] Billboard's Tamar Herman wrote an article on the repackaged album You Never Walk Alone, describing the single "Spring Day" as an "alt hip-hop song infused with rock instrumentals and EDM synths" combining the rap elements for which BTS has become known with "dreamy vocals and yearning lyrics." Herman calls "Not Today" the dual single counterpart to "Spring Day", a power anthem for "all the underdogs in the world."[52] "Spring Day" ranked number one on Dazed Digital's "20 Best K-Pop Songs of 2017" list, describing the song as "an intelligent, compelling and elegantly restrained study of loss and longing" that "deliberately avoids cliché pomp and drama".[118]
