Critical Reception
Edit
Allmusic's Andrew Leahey gave the album a rating of two-and-a-half stars out of five, praising the first track, Thriller/Heads Will Roll, as well as Paltrow's appearances.
However, he found monotony in Glee's conventional mix of popular music and show tunes, even with the two original tracks.
Rolling Stone's Jody Rosen gave Loser Like Me a four-star rating out of five, and felt its message related well to the show's theme. While initial sales projections were set at 75,000 copies, Glee: The Music, Volume 5 sold 90,000 copies in the US.
