Back to Love has received generally favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 82, based on seven reviews, which indicates "universal acclaim."[3] Allmusic editor Andy Kellman found that Back to Love "is clearly viewed as a fresh start, even though it offers no more surprises than Ain't Nobody Worryin' or The Point of It All [...] That Back to Love is not a major shake-up is not a bad thing. Most of the songs are instantly ingratiating in some way, with none of the lighter, upbeat numbers the least bit out of character. There are some sad-cat moments that come very close to the standard Hamilton set."[5]
The album debuted at number 12 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling over 63,000 copies in the first week.[13] The album has sold 372,000 copies in the US as of February 2016.[14]
