In the United States, the album peaked at number 25 on the Billboard 200, where it spent 12 weeks on the chart.

The album was preceded by the UK top-ten singles "Right Here" and "Real Love", as well as the UK number-one singles "Hold My Hand" and "Don't Be So Hard on Yourself". The album's fifth single, "Take Me Home", was released on 3 November 2015 as the official BBC Children in Need single of 2015. The deluxe edition also includes the collaborative singles "Rather Be" (with Clean Bandit), "My Love" (with Route 94) and "Not Letting Go" (with Tinie Tempah), all of which reached number one in the UK.

I Cry When I Laugh is a fairly predictable album for Glynne: it's full of dance tracks both in the vein of her work with Clean Bandit with some soulful R&B tracks and mid-tempo ballads thrown in.
