Upon its release, Need You Now received generally mixed reviews from music critics. [22] At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 63, based on 9 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews". [22]

Giving it four stars out of five, Jessica Phillips wrote in Country Weekly magazine that the group "certainly need have no fear of a sophomore slump" due to the success of "Need You Now". She also said that the album showed the trio's "ability to craft memorable country pop hooks," but added that "not every song works on this record." [23] Crystal Bell, writing for Billboard , was also positive in her review, citing Kelley's vocal slyness and the delicate arrangement of the track "Ready to Love Again", also noting "the trio's musical growth." [24]

AllMusic reviewer Thom Jurek wrote that on this album "they stick very close to the formula of their debut: a slew of mid- and uptempo love songs, a sad ballad, and a couple of rocked-up good-time tunes — all self-written with some help from some of Nashville's most respected writers." [25] He also went on to say that the album was "flawless in its songwriting, production, and performances." [25] Mikael Wood of Entertainment Weekly said, "they're most successful when they keep to the moody minor key stuff" and gave the album a B+. [26] Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine was less positive. [20]

Allegations that the title song stole from The Alan Parsons Project's song "Eye in the Sky" have been widespread online, and representatives for Parsons commented. [27]

Need You Now debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 481,000 copies in its first week. [4] This became Lady Antebellum's first US number one debut. [4] In its second week, the album remained at number one on the chart, selling an additional 209,000 copies. [28]

In 2010, the album became the third best-selling album of the year, behind I Dreamed a Dream by Susan Boyle and Recovery by American rapper Eminem. [31] The album also spent 31 non-consecutive weeks at number one on the Top Country Albums chart in 2010 and 2011. [32] On March 20, 2013, the album was certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of over four million copies in the United States. [5]
