It is her second self-titled record after Diana Ross (1970). It reached #5 in the USA (4 R&B) and sold over 700,000 copies. The album was Ross' biggest-selling album since 1973's Touch Me in the Morning, reaching #5 on the US Billboard 200 album chart, #4 on the US Billboard R&B Album Chart and the Top 5 in the UK, where it was awarded a Gold disc for sales in excess of 100,000 copies.
Two of the tracks included on Diana Ross were #1 hits: "Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To)" (released as a single in 1975 from the Mahogany soundtrack), and the disco anthem, "Love Hangover". The album's official lead single "I Thought It Took A Little Time" was on its way to becoming a hit when its chart life was circumvented by "Love Hangover", which was rushed to release alongside a competing version by The 5th Dimension. "I Thought It Took A Little Time" became a Top 5 Adult Contemporary single despite its shortened run on the Billboard Hot 100. It remains a fan favorite and was also remixed for the clubs on the Almighty Records dance compilation, We Love Diana Ross. A final single, the disco-flavoured "One Love In My Lifetime" become a Top 10 US R&B hit.
The album also included cover versions of the Charlie Chaplin standard "Smile" and "Ain't Nothin' But A Maybe" that had previously been recorded by its writers Ashford & Simpson and Rufus & Chaka Khan. "After You' was subsequently recorded by Roberta Flack on her classic 1977 album Blue Lights In The Basement while R&B starlet Stacy Lattisaw covered 'I Thought It Took A Little Time" on her 1985 album I'm Not The Same Girl. British soul singer Joss Stone covered "One Love In My Lifetime" for her 2012 album The Soul Sessions Vol. 2.
The album's #1 singles, "Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To)" and "Love Hangover" have been covered by many artists including Mariah Carey, Shirley Bassey, Johnny Mathis, Jody Watley and Tina Arena, keeping this classic album relevant for over four decades. Ross was also nominated for a Grammy for "Love Hangover" (Best R&B Performance, Female Artist). Victor Skrebneski photographed Diana's iconic album art. It was chosen by the Italian Fan Club association as 'The Most Beautiful Album Art'. She performed many of the tracks from the album on her award-winning, An Evening with Diana Ross Broadway show, tour, television special and album.
In 2012 Motown/Universal re-released the album in an Expanded Edition, including tracks recorded for the original sessions that were shelved (including cover versions of contemporary tunes by Elton John and Sly and the Family Stone) and alternative versions of many of the album tracks.
