Upon its release, Music Box received generally mixed reviews from music critics. The album was criticized for Carey's softer and more laid-back tone compared to her previous works. Commercially, the album reached number one in 15 countries, including Australia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States.The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) awarded it diamond status for sales of ten million copies in the United States.
