Musically, Get Weird retains the group's previous pop and R&B sound of their debut and sophomore albums while incorporating elements of synth pop, dance pop rock, teen pop, 80s, and 90s sounds. Get Weird was met with generally positive reviews from critics, who described it as their most consistently exciting album to date, with Rolling Stone listing it as one of the best pop albums of 2015. Its subject matters sees Little Mix approach more mature themes with lyrics that addresses a variety of topics including feminism, self love, sexual relationships, breakups, friendships, and independence.

The album debuted and peaked at number two on the UK Albums Chart, breaking the record for the longest-charting girl group album there, spending 97 weeks on the charts. In 2019, it was listed as the eleventh biggest girl group album between 1994 and 2019. It peaked at number one in Ireland, and reached the top ten in New Zealand, Netherlands and Australia. It also reached number thirteen in the States, making Little Mix the first girl group from the UK to have their first three albums debut within the top fifteen of the US Billboard 200. It has since received a triple platinum, three gold, and two platinum music certifications.
