Upon its release, Lion Heart garnered mixed reviews from music critics. Slant Magazine{{'}}s Anzhe Zhang wrote that the album was released to "quash" the suspicions that Girls' Generation was declining after the departure of member Jessica in September 2014. However, she added, "while [the album]'s great for omnivorous die-hard fans, it ultimately feels a little more than scatter-brained." Chester Chin, penning for Malaysian newspaper The Star, praised the release of singles "Party", "Lion Heart" and "You Think" as "a promising start." Nevertheless, he disapproved of the rest of the album, dubbing it a "relatively tame offering" for "[traversing] way too quickly into filler territory" and criticizing the songs "Green Light" and "Paradise" for being too "generic." Kim Do-heon from South Korean online magazine IZM was slightly more positive towards the album, calling it "elegant", and appreciating the record's musical styles even though he felt that it was a decline compared to the group's previous albums as a nine-piece group.

Lion Heart experienced commercial acclaim in South Korea. It debuted atop the Gaon Album Chart on the chart issue dated August 22, 2015, and remained on the top spot for a further week.{{cite web|url=http://gaonchart.co.kr/main/section/chart/album.gaon?nationGbn=T&serviceGbn=&targetTime=36&hitYear=2015&termGbn=week |title=Gaon Album Chart: August 23–29, 2015 |publisher=Gaon Music Chart |language=ko |access-date=April 22, 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150903022732/http://gaonchart.co.kr/main/section/chart/album.gaon?nationGbn=T&serviceGbn=&targetTime=36&hitYear=2015&termGbn=week |archive-date=September 3, 2015 }} Two weeks after its debut chart appearance, it dropped 35 positions, charting at number 36.{{cite web|url=http://gaonchart.co.kr/main/section/chart/album.gaon?nationGbn=T&serviceGbn=&targetTime=37&hitYear=2015&termGbn=week|title=Gaon Album Chart: August 30–September 5, 2015|publisher=Gaon Music Chart|language=ko|access-date=April 22, 2016}} Lion Heart was the best-selling album of August 2015 in South Korea, selling 131,228 physical copies,{{cite web|url=http://gaonchart.co.kr/main/section/chart/album.gaon?nationGbn=T&serviceGbn=&targetTime=08&hitYear=2015&termGbn=month|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305041844/http://www.gaonchart.co.kr/main/section/chart/album.gaon?nationGbn=T&serviceGbn=&targetTime=08&hitYear=2015&termGbn=month|title=Gaon Album Chart: August 2015|publisher=Gaon Music Chart|language=ko|access-date=April 22, 2016|archive-date=March 5, 2016}} while overall being the 13th most-sold album of 2015 in that country with total sales of 145,044 units.{{cite web|url=http://gaonchart.co.kr/main/section/chart/album.gaon?nationGbn=T&serviceGbn=&termGbn=year|title=Gaon Album Chart: 2015|publisher=Gaon Music Chart|language=ko|access-date=April 22, 2016}} Lion Heart additionally charted at number 11 on the Japanese Oricon Albums Chart on the chart issue dated August 31, 2015, while peaking atop the Billboard World Albums chart and becoming the group's second number one following their 2013 album, I Got a Boy.
