Reviews for the album have been fairly mixed, but more positive than reviews for her debut album Undiscovered .

Us Weekly gave the album a positive 3 out of 4 stars review, stating: "Brooke Hogan knows best . . . not to put out a CD like her weak 2006 debut. Luckily, the VH1 reality star, 21, has whipped up a much-improved set of pop love songs for her second effort." [4]

AllMusic gave the album a mixed 2 and 1/2 stars, stating: "In a sense, there's a crass purity to the bad taste of Redemption, as it's nothing more than the product of a pretty, curvy girl who just wants to sing, and producers who create tracks to fit those curves, and if it's not a lot of fun to hear Hogan and team race toward the same goal on parallel tracks, at least it produces a whole lot of bewildered fascination." [5]

Ron Harris of the Associated Press wrote: "Brooke Hogan may know best on her reality show, but she should have known better than churning out the lackluster album The Redemption. It's all tricks, and few treats. On most songs it's hard to tell where the vocoder and production tricks end and Hogan's own voice begins. This is bad, since Hogan has a perfectly fine pop music voice. But she lets the folks behind the mixing board overpower her to a fault." [6]

Commercial reception

The Redemption debuted at number 144 on the Billboard 200. [7]
