In this short commentary we provide our comment on the article "Explicit Analytical Solution for Random Close Packing in d=2 and d=3" recently published in Physical Review Letters. In that work, the author presented an explicit analytical derivation of the volume fractions for random close packings (RCP) in both two and three dimensions. Here we first simplify the derivations, and then provide arguments on why we think the use of the analytical results is limited, given the inaccuracy of the
