The album peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard pop albums chart, and was the first jazz album to sell a million copies.[11] The single "Take Five" off the album was also the first jazz single to sell one million copies.[11] By 1963, the record had sold 500,000 units, and in 2011 it was certified double platinum by the RIAA, signifying over two million records sold.[12][13] The album was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2009.
The album was selected, in 2005, for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
