The album peaked at number 14 in Germany, and charted at 17 on the Billboard 200 chart. [3] The group toured in support of the album, and on 5 December 2013, they won the 1Live Krone radio awards for the Best Single with "Stolen Dance". [3]
It received largely positive press, and within a day of its release in 2014, Spin named Sadnecessary their Album of the Week. [2] Spin further described the leading single "Stolen Dance" as a "serenely rollicking crossover jam", clarifying that the song "is no red herring — the great majority of Sadnecessary follows in its pattern of low-octane beats and gently lapping guitar strumming, making for a lovely and understated album." [2] Remarking on Rehbein's "weathered" vocal style, Billboard said the band's "less-is-more aesthetic puts it front and center, where it will either enchant or annoy listeners." [5]
