The album reached 1,511,910M copies of pre-orders, beating their previous record by almost 100,000 orders, with their studio album Love Yourself 'Tear', with 1,449,287M pre-orders.
On November 7, 2019, Love Yourself: Answer became the first Korean album to spend one year on the Billboard 200 chart. On November 9, it became the first Korean album to receive gold certification in the United States. It sold 60,000 copies in the United Kingdom, making BTS the first Asian artist to have a Silver-certified album in the country.
As of June 2021, the album has remained on the Billboard's main albums chart for 100 non-consecutive weeks, making it the first and currently only Korean album to do so.
Love Yourself: Answer received positive reviews from critics. Nemo Kim from the South China Morning Post gave the album four stars out of five and said, " rappers show their chops on solo tracks, band send a message to Korean youth about self-love, and single Idol sees them don traditional garb and blend pop with ancient percussion as Minaj joins in," praising the album as "cement BTS' place as kings of the genre". In a positive review, Taylor Glasby of Clash magazine described the narrative of the album as a "portray of the fears, mistakes and thoughts we inflict on ourselves" which remain "poignantly relatable". In addition, she said that the narrative serves "to remind us that each person must make their own path, and there's no one size fits all answer to achieving self-acceptance". However, for "Answer: Love Myself", the track concluding the narrative on the album, Glasby felt that it "lyrically exceeds although plays the instrumental a little too safe". Tamar Herman of Billboard praised the album, calling it a "masterful culmination of years of work and rife with meaning, Answer is undeniably a magnum opus from BTS that that few other artists, boy bands or otherwise, ever can hope to achieve."
