The album debuted at No. 41 on Billboard 200,[4] No. 6 on Top Country Albums, selling 11,100 copies (15,000 album-equivalent units) in the first week.[5][6] As of March 2018, the album has sold 21,900 copies in the United States.[7]
Critical reception
Allmusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that "her sophomore album fits into the fluid musical landscape of 2017, adding in hefty doses of electronics, shades of soul, and the occasional retro flashback."[9] Laura Hostelley of Sounds Like Nashville spoke about the album "No longer bounded by traditional country, she experiments with pop and R&B tones to create her own sound."[10]
Rolling Stone praised the album, with writer Luke Levenson commenting, "With crisp production overseen by songwriter Josh Kerr and confessional lyrics, I Don't Believe We've Met challenges any notion people had of the wide-eyed, Blake Shelton-coached ingénue from four years ago."[11]
