The second week, the album stayed at number 1 it has now spent nine weeks at number one in the UK album chart since its release.

The album started atop the Irish Albums Chart with 6,389 units (physical sales, downloads and streaming), just nearly 1,100 fewer than the gold certification disc (deleted in 2013 ). The album became the second fastest-selling album of the year in Ireland after three days of availability. Writing for NME, Jordan Bassett characterised the album as "emotional piano ballads" that "sit at stark contrast with his public persona", concluding that it is "somewhat baffling that such a charismatic star could make a record so lacking in personality, though his fans won't mind one bit". It's well produced, well played, and for the more part well written, if highly repetitive in its he said/she said subject matter", saying its "refusal to be disliked" is "perhaps its most dispiriting, irritating aspect". Murray judged that the album "isn't something anyone should hate. Robin Murray of Clash questioned why Capaldi's music is "so boring" given his "hilarious" public persona. Hayley Milross from The Line of Best Fit called the album "an assured and settled debut", saying that while Capaldi may not have "deliver an album that leans towards the extraordinary", it is a "collection of poignant love songs that are honest and sincere".
Roisin O'Connor of The Independent called Capaldi's voice "a gravelly powerhouse that manages to evoke the 22-year-old's natural charisma even on the weepiest of ballads" and said the album "alternates between piano and guitar-based tracks, with production that retains raw moments" that, while "not the most adventurous album is more about unveiling the rough materials Capaldi has to work with". He called Capaldi's honesty "appealing" and felt that there is "some solid songwriting here, and a nobility to the sheer honesty of the lyrics", describing the music as "full-force, ugly crying pop".

Critical reception Professional ratings Aggregate scoresīen Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian said that "few artists have quite such a disparity between their music and their public persona" as Capaldi, who, in song, is "a man utterly battered by a breakup". MTV said Capaldi "might have just won Best Album Title of 2019".
Capaldi also joked that he did not think that when he got to release his debut album that he "would give it a name as stupid I have, but here we are". I will look back on it as an extremely stressful time that somehow also managed to be extremely boring." He went on to describe that while he liked "building up the songs", he did not enjoy re-recording guitar parts and the long mixing process. In the album announcement, Capaldi said: "Everyone always tells you about how amazing recording their first album was and how they'll always look back on the 'process' with fond memories.
