The album was supported by four singles. The first single "Used to Love U" was released on August 31, 2004. The single received moderate commercial success, peaking at number 74 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.[2] The second single "Ordinary People" was released on April 7, 2005, and became Legend's breakthrough hit. The song peaked within the top 40—at number 24—on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Legend's first to do so.[2] It also received success outside of the US; it peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart and number one on the UK R&B Singles chart.[3][4] "Ordinary People" also received three nominations at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards for Song of the Year, Best R&B Song and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance, ultimately winning the latter. The third single "Number One" was released on August 23, 2005. It failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100, but peaked at number 63 on the UK Singles Chart.[5] The final single, "So High" was released on December 8, 2005. The song also failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100, although it reached number three on the Bubbling Under Hot 100.[6]
Get Lifted received generally positive reviews from music critics. BBC Music gave the album a favorable review and called it "an album that not only lived up to the hype, but rose squarely above it. Yes, at times it is a patchwork of the past filtered through Legend’s ever-present influences, but the quality of his writing and performance, and his collaborators’ contributions, make it worthy of the awards and plaudits it rightly received."[17]Spin gave it an A− and said that Legend's voice "leans on subtlety more than melisma, and his sound has a crisp live-band jump, rather than canned neo-soul static."[14]Uncut gave it three stars out of five and stated that Legend "introduces some intriguing new variations on the retro R&B template....Jeff Buckley is surprisingly brought to mind in Legend's passionately fragile delivery."[18]IGN gave it a score of 9.3 out of ten and called it "a refreshing record that fans of music will adore."[19]The Guardian gave it four stars out of five and called it "a real gem."[10]Entertainment.ie also gave it four stars and said of Legend, "it's probably not surprising that he's got such a big head, seeing as his producer, hip-hop guru Kanye West, has described him as simply 'the future'. Actually, it would be much more accurate to say that he does a pretty good job of updating the past."[20] In his Consumer Guide, Robert Christgau gave it a three-star honorable mention (); he picked out two of the songs from the album ("I Can Change" and "Live It Up") and said of Legend, "For an ordinary soul man, he has excellent tunes."[21]
musicOMH gave it an average review and stated that "Certain albums have the power to open the mind into different forms of music, and certainly those who pick up the Get Lifted with the pretence of it being a hip-hop album will have a rude awakening. I approached with trepidation after the opening Prelude but with an open mind or just an appreciation for the finer things in life Get Lifted could find itself being an essential album in anyone’s collection."[22]Paste gave it a positive review and stated that it "has as much in common with the classic funk and soul of Isaac Hayes, Stevie Wonder and The Delfonics as it does with today’s best R&B, hip-hop and neo-soul."[23]The A.V. Club gave it an average review and stated that the album "suffers from a surplus of slickness, but it's also seductive, and at just over 52 minutes, mercifully free from the excess and filler that characterize many rap and R&B albums."[24]Exclaim!, however, gave it an unfavorable review and said, "The early line on Legend is that the heat this album will undoubtedly generate guarantees that Legend’s apparent fidelity issues will get worse before they get better. Get Lifted indeed."[25]Plugged In (publication) gave it a mixed review and stated that "Legend is a talented singer and piano player but fails to maintain his moral focus. It doesn't take much profanity, infidelity and sexual inappropriateness to sink an otherwise decent effort."[26]
Rhapsody ranked the album #10 on its "Best R&B Albums of the Decade" list,[27] declaring, "John Legend was all over the Top 40 the entire decade—even before he released one of the decade’s biggest R&B debuts—having worked with Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys, Kanye West and Jay-Z, to name a few. Get Lifted, his first proper release, is an infectious cross between old-school soul and neo-soul."
Commercial performance
Get Lifted debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 116,000 copies in its first week.[1] This became Legend's first US top-ten debut on the chart.[1] In its second week, the album climbed to number four on the chart, selling an additional 75,000 copies.[28] In its third week, the album remained to number four on the chart, selling 73,000 more copies.[29] In its fourth week, the album dropped to number five on the chart, selling 62,000 copies.[30] On October 13, 2020, the album was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over two million units in the United States.[citation needed] To date, the album has sold a total of 2.1 million copies in the US and over three million units worldwide.[31]
