Indigo is certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which makes this Brown's sixth multi-platinum selling album.

In 2022, the song "Under the Influence", featured in the extended edition of the album, emerged as a sleeper hit, achieving significant international success.

[7] The official recording sessions for the project, after the drafting of its concept, began in August 2018, at the end of the "Heartbreak on a Full Moon tour", with "Undecided" being the first song composed following the idealization of the album.

[8] Two songs from the extended edition, which was released three months after the original album, were composed a few years earlier: "Technology" was recorded in 2016, while "Going at It" in December 2017.

[11] Indigo is an R&B album, which tends to a slightly more pop sound than its predecessor Heartbreak on a Full Moon,[3] also containing elements of dancehall and Afrobeats.

[12] Barry Walters of Spin found some songs of the album, such as "Indigo", "BP" and "Heat", to be a merge of "classic R&B sound and stylistic, with late 2010s trap influences".

[13] The album showcases a variety of productions that incorporate the percussive elements of dancehall and bounce music, evident in tracks such as "You Like That", "Need a Stack", "Juice", "Wobble Up", "Back to Love" and "Lurkin'".

The front cover artwork was designed by graffiti artist Saturno and features a purple-haired Chris Brown's face in space, surrounded by fictional monsters and flying saucers, while the back cover, designed by visual artist Jeff Cole, continues the supernatural theme with a levitating body over a pyramid.

"On the cover, you can see human consciousness, religion, political powers, greed, indoctrination, obsolete education, and new era awakening.

I placed Pisces and Aquarius constellations, ... a mythological being with armor that represents the superior intelligence, ...aliens in flying saucers, ... 11:11 the number of the angel.... All of the details and figures of the artwork are connected to that world and have a meaning".

[42] Later on March 9, 2020, he confirmed its working posting a short video snippet of futuristic graphics accompanied by the song "Red".

[46] Jay Cridlin of Tampa Bay Times said that the concert was "a guilty pleasure", wondering if enjoying his stage presence should be wrong, considering the controversies surrounding his public figure, expressing "At what point do we -- can we, should we -- forget about the blowups and restraining orders, and just marvel at the way Brown splits into a backflip and kick-spins a 360 during 'Drunk Texting'?".

Andy Kellman of AllMusic stated that "Not quite as extravagant as the preceding Heartbreak on a Full Moon, Chris Brown's ninth album is merely two hours in length.

Pleasure-seeking club tracks, entitled slow jams, tormented ballads, and yearning pop-R&B love songs -- the last of which still match up best with his voice, virtually unchanged during the last decade -- are all plentiful.
