With the release of this album, The Supremes became the first act in Billboard magazine history to have three number-one hits from the same album. It was the album that introduced "The Motown Sound" to the masses. It was also, at the time, the highest-ranking album by an all-female group. It remained in the number two position for four consecutive weeks in January 1965, but was Number One on Billboards' Rhythm and Blues Charts for the first week of January 1965. It was shut out of the top spot by the Beatles' blockbuster Beatles '65 album. Where Did Our Love Go remained on the Billboard album chart for an unprecedented 89 weeks.
Hip-O Select released a limited run fortieth anniversary deluxe edition of the album in 2004, which included both the mono and stereo versions of the album, as well as several outtakes, non-album tracks and a recorded live show from the Twenty Grand club in Detroit, Michigan. It sold out immediately.
They filmed performances of four of the singles from the album including "Run, Run, Run", "When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes", "Where Did Our Love Go" and "Baby Love" for the concert film, The T.A.M.I.

It was equivalent to Motown 25 or Live Aid as a pivotal music concert event.[citation needed] When it hit theaters nationwide, it undoubtedly raised and extended the visibility of the Where Did Our Love Go album.
