To Whom It May Concern (Lisa Marie Presley album)

Critical reception

The album received positive reviews from critics who complimented Presley's vocals and her songwriting.

Los Angeles Times critic Robert Hilburn reviewed Presley's debut album and said, "The music on her new album, has a stark, uncompromising tone", and later said, "Presley's gutsy blues-edged voice has a distinctive flair."

AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine said: "This is a sharp, ambitious mainstream pop/rock album performed by a singer with real character – thankfully, one that's surly, not sweet, since there's been too much sweetness from divas in the 2000s", giving the album four out of five stars.

Commercial performance

The album sold 142,000 copies during its first week of release, and debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 album chart. In May 2003, the Recording Industry Association of America certified the album gold.
