As an indication of how hot they were at the time, the album just missed the Top 20 in the U.S. peaking at No. 21. While not quite as prolific as their pop counterparts at that time, The Beatles, The Supremes enjoyed three albums charting simultaneously in 1964–65. In an odd promotion strategy, they also performed The Beatles' "Eight Days a Week" on several television shows including Shindig and Hullabaloo, though the song did not make the album.

For its release in the UK, the album was titled With Love (From Us to You).
