Reception.
The album peaked at number 14 in Germany, and charted at 17 on the "Billboard" 200 chart. The group toured in support of the album, and on 5 December 2013, they won the 1Live Krone radio awards for the Best Single with "Stolen Dance".
It received largely positive press, and within a day of its release in 2014, "Spin" named "Sadnecessary" their Album of the Week. "Spin" further described the leading single "Stolen Dance" as a "serenely rollicking crossover jam", clarifying that the song "is no red herring — the great majority of "Sadnecessary" follows in its pattern of low-octane beats and gently lapping guitar strumming, making for a lovely and understated album." Remarking on Rehbein's "weathered" vocal style, "Billboard" said the band's "less-is-more aesthetic puts it front and center, where it will either enchant or annoy listeners."
