The New York Times noted the difficulty Bieber faced in creating the album—a tension between his love of R&B and the profitability of pop music—while suggesting that his "savvy compromises" made the conflict manageable." Entertainment Weekly praised the variety of audiences for the album, calling it "the rare album that tries to be everything to everyone and largely succeeds."

Reviews of the vocals on specific songs were mixed. The New York Times review complained of certain songs where Bieber "sounded bored" and unlike himself, although other tracks were said to show him when he "leans on his instincts." The review credited Bieber for his "limber and wounded" vocals. It suggested that Bieber's voice would continue to evolve, and that in a few years it could fully express "angst". It said Bieber was "more credible when begging or retreating", while BBC Music stated similarly that "his confidence, for the most part, [is] played down."

A large number of reviews compared Bieber to Justin Timberlake,{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/review/1066955/justin-bieber-believe-track-by-track-review|title=Justin Bieber, 'Believe': Track-By-Track Review|publisher=Billboard|access-date=20 December 2017}} a once-teenage pop star who achieved great success during his evolution from teenage boy band member to young adult. Most found the situations very different, saying Bieber was better suited to pursuing his own style rather than follow in the footsteps of Timberlake. The New York Times, however, complimented his references to Michael Jackson as aspirational. Meanwhile, reviewers tended to dislike Bieber's work with other pop stars. BBC Music said that, despite an abundance of guest contributors, Bieber is "overshadowed."

Assessments of the long-term impact of the album generally avoided calling Believe a revolutionary step forward. The Independent roundly criticized the artist's lack of innovation, calling it a "pitifully timid affair".{{cite news |last=Gill |first=Andy |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/album-justin-bieber-believe-mercury-7851780.html |title=Album: Justin Bieber, Believe (Mercury) |work=The Independent |publisher=Independent Print Limited |date=June 16, 2012 |access-date=June 17, 2012}} The New York Times noted that while Bieber was not ushering in radical changes to pop music, he was at least playing to his personal strengths. Billboard noted the singer's potential with future releases, pointing out "multiple songs that hint at what Bieber could become someday."

Believe debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 374,000. It was Bieber's fourth number-one album. It dropped two spots in its second week to number three with sales of 115,000 copies.{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/482106/linkin-park-squeaks-by-maroon-5-hits-no-1-on-billboard-200|title=Linkin Park Squeaks By Maroon 5, Hits No. 1 on Billboard 200|publisher=Billboard|access-date=20 December 2017}} Believe was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on July 31, 2012,{{cite web |url=https://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?artist=%22Bieber,%20Justin%22 |title=Gold & Platinum |publisher=Recording Industry Association of America |date=July 31, 2012 |access-date=August 10, 2012}} and has sold 1,610,000 copies in the US as of December 2015.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6814157/justin-bieber-purpose-million-seller |title=Justin Bieber's 'Purpose' Becomes His Fifth Million-Selling Album in U.S.|last=Caulfield |first=Keith|date=21 December 2015|access-date=21 December 2015|magazine=Billboard}}
