Reception

Critical

Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian however noted that she liked "Beautiful" the most, which she called a "faux-folk ballad" and "a sweet duet with Justin Bieber [...] that suggests that neither artist is completely irredeemable".[1]

Chart performance

The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart of October 6, 2012, at number 87, without any disclosure, becoming Jepsen's seventh top 40 hit in Canada and Bieber's twenty-second top 40 hit in Canada.[2]
