The album achieved success in France, where it peaked at #5 for two weeks in January 1995. It remained in the top 50 for twenty weeks and eventually earned a gold disc. It was briefly ranked for a sole week in Austria, three weeks in Sweden, six weeks in Switzerland and nine weeks in Germany, but was unable to reach the top 30 in these countries. The album passed almost unnoticed in the U.S. and was not charted in the UK.

Critical reception

Generally, the album received positive reviews from critics. Allmusic stated, "Like many dance albums, this has too many tracks that sound alike, but Ice'n'Green is a lot of fun and consistently enjoyable."^[3] Music & Media wrote, "Ice Cube, Ice T. and Ice MC. Despite their obsession with ice, they've found three different ways to defrost the airwaves. Italy's contender, the MC that is, is the Euro dance kind as we've seen from the hits Think About The Way and It's A Rainy Day. But he's much more than just vintage continental, and is branching out into ragga as well (Labba Ling)."^[4]
