The album was Ross' biggest-selling album since 1973's "Touch Me in the Morning", and the first of Ross' albums since her debut to yield more than four hit singles. It reached #5 on the US Billboard 200 album chart, #4 on the US Billboard R&B Album Chart and the Top 10 in the UK.

Two of Diana Ross' singles became #1 hits: "Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To)" (also included on the Mahogany soundtrack), and the disco anthem, "Love Hangover". "I Thought it Took a Little Time" was on its way to another pop smash when it's pop chart life was circumvented due to having to rush release "Love Hangover" to obliterate a competing version by The Fifth Dimension. "I Thought it Took a Little Time" did become the second Top 5 Adult Contemporary single despite its eclipsed run on the Hot 100. (see Billboard). It remains a fan favorite and was also remixed for the clubs on the Almighty Records dance compilation, "We Love Diana Ross".

Diana was also nominated for a Grammy for "Love Hangover" (Best R&B Performance, Female Artist).
