The album features guest appearances from Khalid, Chance the Rapper, the Kid Laroi, Dominic Fike, Daniel Caesar, Giveon, Beam, Burna Boy, and Benny Blanco.

The album includes production from Benny Blanco himself, Virtual Riot, Andrew Watt, Skrillex, Finneas, Jon Bellion, the Monsters & Strangerz, and numerous others.

Justice and "Peaches" both held the number-one spots on the respective charts simultaneously in the same week, making Bieber the first solo male artist and the third act overall to achieve this feat.

Upon release, the album received generally favourable reviews from music critics, most of whom complimented its production and vocal delivery, but deprecated its lyrics and "confusing" concept surrounding justice.

[19] According to Craig Jenkins from Vulture, "the album zips through synth-pop, Soulection-esque funk, dancehall-tinged electronic dance music, and rock-infused Afrobeats".

It's distinguished by a variety of pop modes that includes vaporous Synth-rock and strumming acoustic ballads, Hip hop Gospel and bedroom EDM, and sun-dazed R&B and contemporary Afrobeat.

[23][3] The second track, "Deserve You", has been described by Billboard and Bieber himself as a song that sounds like Phil Collins' work,[17][23] and "striking 1980s power-ballad gold"[24] funk[25] and disco.

[27] The eighth track, "Die for You" featuring Dominic Fike, is an "MTV-friendly" new wave, funk,[28] dance-pop,[29][30] dream pop, glam rock and disco song.

[26][28][29] The twelfth track, "Peaches", which features Daniel Caesar and Giveon, is a pop-R&B song that has been compared to Bruno Mars' work.

Its music video was released on the same day and features Bieber as a laid-off oil worker and his partner being helped by a charitable soldier.

[37] It was directed by American music video director Jake Schreier and stars Jacob Tremblay, who plays a younger version of Bieber.

[42] It was directed by Colin Tilley and stars American actress Zoey Deutch who plays Bieber's love interest in the video.

[61] The fifth single "Peaches" was performed live for the first time two days before its official release, on March 17, 2021, during Bieber's first Tiny Desk concert.

Directed by David Ctiborsky, the concert revealed Bieber and his live band performing on a roof at sunset, with landmarks like the Eiffel Tower visible in the background, and later in the halls of the hotel.

Bieber hit the road on February 18, 2022, at Pechanga Arena in San Diego and the tour ran through Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Denver, Atlanta, Montreal, Tampa, Austin, and more.

[73][74][75] On March 18, Rolling Stone reported that Justice sent a cease and desist letter to Bieber over the album, citing willful trademark infringement over the Cross logo.

[49] Justice (Triple Chucks Deluxe) with six new tracks was released on March 26, 2021 and features guest appearances from Jaden, Tori Kelly, Lil Uzi Vert and DaBaby.

He asserted Justice is not a protest album, but contains "messages of hope, morality and standing for truth" nevertheless, where Bieber produces "powerful results" via personal experiences.

[22] Billboard writer Jason Lipshutz felt that Bieber "gains more artistic clarity" on Justice, as he attempts to "express a complex emotional state over the course of an album instead of jamming it into three minutes".

[94] PopMatters writer Ana Clara Ribeiro wrote that Justice evinces Bieber as a "pop music force", and contains traces of its predecessors, especially Purpose (2015).

Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly felt that none of the tracks "have touched the heady heights" of Purpose singles like "Sorry" and "Where Are Ü Now", but thought Justice is full of "Husband Bops" and "respectable numbers".

[26] Evening Standard's David Smyth complimented the musical direction of the album but noted that Bieber "still doesn't have a great deal to say" lyrically.

[96] Reviewing for Clash, Robin Murray stated that Justice explores "hip hop to slick Billboard pop and beyond", however, its 16 tracks "can become a repetitive experience".

[88] Branding it "an earnest pop album", Pitchfork's Rawiya Kameir complimented Bieber's smooth and controlled vocals but deprecated the "rote" production and "spiritless" songwriting.

[98] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times named the album one that is "disorganized, only sporadically strong" but complimented the collaborations "Unstable" and "Peaches".

[99] Writing for The Los Angeles Times, Mikael Wood opined that the album "feels out of sync with the rest of modern pop".

[1] The Guardian critic Alexis Petridis described the album as a set of love songs about Bieber's wife, contradicting the singer's description of the album—"justice for humanity".

[29] Questioning the lack of relation between the album's songs and King's speeches, Ali Shutler of The Daily Telegraph opined that the "loved-up" lyricism "almost exclusively" focuses on Bieber himself.

He compared the inclusion of King's speeches to the "hollow, non-committal feel of a brand-sponsored Black History Month tweet, a gesture best left unmade", and remarked that they "co-opt and trivialize the message of the man they profess to honor".

[107] The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) reported that Bieber was the world's eighth best-selling artist of 2021, bolstered by Justice.
