The album peaked at #5 on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold by the RIAA on April 24, 2002, almost 36 years after its original release.

It was also Streisand's last album to make the Top 10 until 1971, when Stoney End reached #10.

An EP was released in Europe in July 1966 called "Barbra Streisand En Français" with four French recordings:[1] Je m'appelle Barbra contains Streisand's first songwriting credit, for "Ma première chanson".

The album cover was photographed by Richard Avedon.

A song called "Look" was also recorded for this album, but was used as a b-side to the single: "Stout-Hearted Men" from Barbra's next album Simply Streisand (1967).
