Empty Lighthouse Magazine called the album Kelly's "break into the industry" with applaud to her songwriting and vocals.^[17] Music Snake wrote that the album was an "impressive debut" with Kelly being "boldly authentic and effortlessly talented."^[18] In a review from Trendio, the album was called "timeless" and lived up to expectations. However, it was said that Kelly should have broken out of her comfort zone a little more.^[19] Matthew Scott Donnelly from PopCrush rated the album 3 out of 5. He wrote that the first half of the album surpassed the second half and closed with "Kelly’s got pipes that could stop an Olympic sprinter in her tracks—and she’s got a great album in her—but Unbreakable Smile, for its undeniable glint, could do with a bit of elective orthodontia."^[20] AndPop's Merna Jibrail complimented the album's variety although she noted the lack of singles that could have potentially built more momentum and promotion for the album.^[21]

Commercial performance

The album was predicted to sell 65,000 units in its first week and debut in the top five of the US Billboard 200.^[22][23] The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, with 75,000 units.^[24] As of March 2016, the album has sold 187,000 copies in the United States.

In addition to the two new tracks, it retains the two additional bonus tracks from the original exclusive version of the album.^[6] The iTunes bonus tracks were included on the reissue of the album on iTunes everywhere except North America.
