Critical reception

Шаблон:Music ratings

Hedley was met with mixed reviews by music critics. Corey Apar of AllMusic rated the album two stars out of five and described it as "competent though largely uninteresting." In particular, he criticized the lyrics and the lack of engagement ("Even the... standout tracks... aren't that memorable," writes Apar, "taking a couple spins to really grab listeners at all.")[11] Emilio LV of Melodic called tracks such as "Villain" and "Sink or Swim" as the standout songs. However he criticized the tracks "On My Own", "Street Fight" and "321" as "Simple Plan's way of punk-pop written for easy radio success."[12] Christine Estima of Chart Attack gave a mixed review on the album stating, "Hoggard's lyrics requires some maturity, but you gotta give them props for their singable hooks and endearing party riffs a la Jimmy Eat World."[13]

Despite the album receiving negative reviews, it was nominated at the 2006 Juno Awards for "Rock Album of the Year".[14] In 2007, it was nominated for "Album of the Year" at the Juno Awards.[15]

The album went platinum in Canada in December 2005 selling over 100,000 units.[2] In 2008, the album was certified 2× platinum.
