Critical reception

Jon Pareles of The New York Times wrote "throughout the album, despite skillful songs from Ms. Michaels and Sia, there’s a sense of obligations being met, bases being touched. It's the bane of most sequels, and the songs in Fifty Shades Freed can’t escape it."^[6] The first three singles from the album were selected as one of the best songs from the film's franchise, according to Billboard critic Nina Braca.^[7]

Commercial performance

Unlike its predecessors, the soundtrack to Freed was moderately successful; it sold nearly 58,000 units in its debut week where it was charted at number 5 on Billboard 200.^[8] The music video for the single "For You", albeit being charted at number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100, had garnered around 50 million views in YouTube within a month.^[9]
