A deluxe edition, released in March, included the single "Run" featuring Galantis and was updated again in August 2022, with "History" with Joel Corry and "Crazy What Love Can Do", with Guetta and Ella Henderson.
Only Honest on the Weekend peaked at number seven on the UK Albums Chart and has been certified gold.[3]
Alim Kheraj, reviewing Only Honest on the Weekend for The Guardian, gave the album one star out of five, describing its tracks as "seemingly designed for fast fashion adverts during Love Island, with over-stuffed production that's about as robust and long-lasting as the minidresses sold therein". Kheraj also summarised the album as "disposable" and a "conveyor belt of blandness" that makes one wonder why Hill "bothered to make" it as "[p]erhaps after waiting nearly a decade to be allowed to release an album, Hill's enthusiasm had just run dry".[4] Conversely, Clash's Caitlin Sibthorpe scored the album seven out of 10, calling it an "unstoppable pop banger" with "sensational guest stars" and "faultless production" that make it "even more tantalizing". Sibthorpe felt that "the versatility of the album will produce mass adoration".[1] Neil McCormick for The Telegraph awarded the album three stars out of five and found that while Hill "sings beautifully and has energy to burn", "this is more like a pop data dump than a crafted debut album".[5]

Only Honest on the Weekend debuted at number seven on the UK Album Charts and stayed in the top 100 for an initial 11 weeks.[6] The album, following its deluxe edition release, re-entered the chart in March 2022 at number 15 [7] and returned to its peak position in August 2022 following Hill's performance at the final of the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 championship. The album also saw a resurgence in popularity on the Irish Album Charts as well reaching a new peak of number 5.[8]
