Upon its release, Stateless received positive reviews from music critics. However, it noted only a moderate commercial success. In the United Kingdom, the album peaked at number thirty-five and also charted in other countries, such as Netherlands and New Zealand.

The lead single "Lucky Number" also received very positive reviews from music critics. It was a commercial success, peaking at number three on the UK Singles Chart, and was considered by many a defining song of the new wave music genre.
