David Archuleta received mixed reviews from critics.[14] Billboard praised David Archuleta, calling it "charming" and filled with performances "meant for arenas". It also credited Archuleta as having a "once-in-a-decade pop voice: A silky tenor with a natural melancholy."[15] Ken Barnes of USA Today gave the album a positive review saying, "On American Idol runner-up David Archuleta's first, self-titled album, the 17-year-old singer delivers a non-stop succession of polite pop songs swathed in gauzy cotton-candy textures and catchy choruses. And that's exactly what he should be doing." The New York Times writes "(Archuleta) has a lovely, foggy R&B voice out of scale with his small body". Writes the review, "The music, made by many producers and songwriters, averages out different forms of radio-format blandness, with tinges of Coldplay and Shania Twain, and a few dollops of good writing."[16] Los Angeles Times wrote "The record is larded with awkward modernist R&B, Christian semaphore ballads like 'You Can' and warm-milk mewling that makes David Cook, Archuleta's "Idol" foe, sound like Robert Plant".[11]

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart (issue of November 29, 2008), with sales of 183,000 copies in the United States, behind Fearless by Taylor Swift.[17] As of January 2011, the album has sold 764,000 copies in the United States.[18]
