Rolling Stone gave the album a two star review, stating that "the 13-year-old is anything but threatening on this potential blockbuster of a debut", however the Rolling Stone community gave the album four and a half stars. NY Daily News also gave the album two stars explaining that "the singer's androgynous pitch — which lies well north of Justin Bieber's — limits his ability to make the CD's love songs credible for anyone over his own age".
In the US, the album sold 16,185 copies in its first week, debuting at #29 on the Billboard 200. In Canada, the album debuted at #67 on the Canadian Albums Chart. In France, the album debuted at #47 on the French Albums Chart.
