==Reviews==
Scanipop gave the album a positive review, stating "'Miss Unknown’ and the title track ‘Forgive Me’ stop the album from being a totally perfect record [but] other than that though, it’s a fantastic album. Not what we expected. And not what we thought we wanted either. But it’s an accomplished record that showcases an extraordinary amount of progression in his sound, yet still serves as an enjoyable listen from start to finish, for someone who has been an Eric Saade fan from Day 1."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scandipop.co.uk/eric-saade-forgive-me-album-review/, |title=Forgive Me Review|publisher=Scanidpop|accessdate=2014-03-05}}</ref>
