AllMusic | [3] |
The Village Voice | C[4] |
The album has received mixed reviews. In a review for The Village Voice, although he gave the album a C rating, Robert Christgau panned Candlebox's self-titled album and called the band 'postgrunge scenesuckers [who] aren't total pop-metal conformists--they're a tad more intense, with sharper drumming.'[4]Stephen Thomas Erlewine was more positive, writing for AllMusic: 'Candlebox rode the alternative bandwagon to the top of the charts with their self-titled debut album.' He also calls the singles 'Change', 'You' and 'Far Behind' 'the closest they come to memorable melodies.'[3]
Although released in July 1993, Candlebox did not enter the top 10 Billboard 200 until August 1994,[5] upon the success of its third and biggest single 'Far Behind', which would reach number 18 on the Hot 100 chart roughly a month later.[6] The album peaked at number seven, Candlebox's highest position so far, and remained on the chart for 104 weeks.[7]
