Reviews and Achievements
Although most of the critics didn't give the album top marks (76% on metacritic.com), the album debuted at number 1 on the Billboard album charts . Although it only lasted a week there and none of the three singles achieved a similarly high ranking (Why reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 ), the album is considered commercially successful, which underlines the gold award.
