The album debuted on the US Billboard 200 at number 45, selling about 16,000 copies in its first week. As of January 13, 2011, the album has been certified platinum by the RIAA and peaked at number seven on the Billboard 200 and has currently sold over one million copies in the United States. The album debuted at number 26 in New Zealand, helped by "Love Song" reaching number one on the radio airplay chart. In the United Kingdom, the album debuted at #9 with sales of 14,484.
"Love Song" was selected as the first single. It was featured as the iTunes Single of the Week from June 19 to 26, 2007. In 2008, "Bottle It Up" was released as the second single. The video was directed by Marcos Siega. The third single in the United States was supposed to be "Gravity", with the video released on February 3, 2009, but no further information was ever revealed as to the date of the single release.
The album was well received by critics. "Love Song" was nominated for Song of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 51st Grammy Awards.
When asked in an interview by British newspaper The Daily Mirror about how she would describe her music, Bareilles said, "I guess I would say it's piano-based pop/soul," and said she listened to a lot of early soul and jazz when making the album.

- "Love Song" was the lead single of this album. It was released in the United States on June 19, 2007, EU on April 25, 2008, and in the United Kingdom on April 2008. It is Bareilles' most successful single, charting at #4 in the United States, #4 in the United Kingdom, and #22 on the EU Top 200.
- "The River" (live) was released on January 1, 2008. Although not a mainstream release, "The River" is a live cover of Joni Mitchell's "River".
- "Bottle It Up" was the second official single, released in the United States on April 29, 2008. It did not gain as much popularity as "Love Song", and only to chart on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles at #7 which is equal to #107. It was released in the United Kingdom on October 13, 2008, but failed to make any impact on the charts, peaking at #92.
- "Gravity" was supposed to be the third United States single from the album. The video was released online in February 2009 and appeared on VH1's top 20 countdown. The song also appears in the TV series Community, and plays during a (intended to be humorous) montage of lingering looks between the characters Annie and Jeff. This was inspired by a real life fanvid on YouTube featuring the pair that was well known amongst the cast and crew. The montage on the show was then instantly parodied using the song as backing for similar moments between the characters Abed and Pierce.
