Rolling Stone ranked it second among the best albums of the 1980s and placed it at No. 76 on the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Time named it the 15th greatest album in history. Its first two singles, "When Doves Cry" and "Let's Go Crazy," both reached No. 1 on the US charts. The RIAA has certified it 13x Platinum (Diamond). This pressing is a limited 180-gram LP.
