the excess and filler that characterize many rap and R&B albums." 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." Plugged In 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." Rhapsody ranked the album #10 on its "Best R&B Albums of the Decade" list, 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. This became Legend's first US top-ten debut on the chart. In its second week, the album climbed to number four on the chart, selling an additional 75,000 copies. In its third week, the album remained to number four on the chart, selling 73,000 more copies.
