Tidal sold it for about 8 hours after the free copies ran out. It's actually impressive that hundreds of people still paid for it on the same website that gave away a million copies for free. Not to mention the 100k+ people that ended up buying it on iTunes.
But I guess if this their only way to drag the era, it must be doing very well.
Pitchfork's 2.5 was a bit cruel, they even praised some songs. Poor Puth.

Quote:
The album doesn’t deviate much from this safe spot; when it does, it goes blander ("Up All Night") or, pleasantly, Ryan Tedder-er ("My Gospel"), or, even more pleasantly, somewhat close to Justin Timberlake territory. "Suffer" is a credibly lustful piece of pleading, and "Losing My Mind" begins with a lovely, distorted Timberlake-lite riff that rings like a bell over Puth. The latter track sounds like the work of an award-winning college acapella group. It is the album’s strongest track.
Puth promises to "carry your body to the top of the tower to kiss your lips at midnight." What a tempting offer, and a typical one, in which your best case scenario is unconsciousness.
Prince [couldn’t] make his guitar work, frantically stripping off his shirt and trying tricks with the microphone stand and making all these poses. After Michael’s dazzling star turn, Prince fell as flat as he could, and Michael enjoyed laughing at the video,” Reid recalled.
