Beautiful Trauma has received generally mixed to positive reviews from music critics. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 62 out of 100, which indicates "generally favorable reviews" based on 8 reviews.[19] Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic gave the album a score of three stars out of five, stating that the production is "undergirded with genuine feeling that Pink conveys with her measured performances", but notes that the album sounds "too controlled", resulting in a "tamer record".[20] Chuck Arnold from Entertainment Weekly gave the album a positive review, labelling it as "fresh and familiar".[21] Maura Johnston from Rolling Stone noted the title track, "Whatever You Want" and "Revenge" as highlights, but criticised the "chilled-out" middle section.[24] The Guardian's Michael Cragg gave the album a mixed review, writing that it, "does the job, nothing more".[23]

Commercial performance

In the United States, Beautiful Trauma debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 with 408,000 album-equivalent units, with 384,000 as pure sales. The album became her second to top the chart after her previous album The Truth About Love (2012). It had the country's biggest opening for a female artist since Beyoncé's Lemonade and highest first-week traditional sales since Drake's Views (both from 2016).[26] The album also became her second to top the Canadian Albums Chart after The Truth About love, opening at number one with 64,000 album-equivalent units and 60,000 traditional album sales. It had the nation's second biggest opening of the year after Shania Twain's Now.[27] It additionally debuted at the summit of the UK Albums Chart with 70,074 album-equivalent units, 5,519 of which were from streaming.[28][29] The album then was displaced by George Michael's Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 the following week.[30] In Japan, it opened at number 32 on the Physical Albums Chart and number 3 on the Digital Album Chart, with only sales of few days of being released, selling 1,909 copies and 2,428 from digital album sales.[31][32] In its second week, the album raised 4 spots in the Physical Albums Chart, selling 2,442 copies, and 1,084 copies from digital downloads.[33][34] In France, the album entered at number one with first-week sales of 14,853 copies.[35] The record sold 50,000 copies in Australia within 3 days[36] and 78,000 during its first week, debuting atop the ARIA Albums Chart and becoming Pink's fifth entry to reach the nation's summit. As a result, it became the 457th album to enter at the top position as well as the country's 813th album overall to reach number one. Beautiful Trauma was also certified double Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) after a week due to high sales.[37] It then stayed at number one the next week, giving the singer her 36th week atop the chart.[38]
