The album was awarded with 6 Grammy Awards, including "Record of the Year" for "Rosanna", "Album of the Year" for "Toto IV", and "Producer of the Year" for the band. It reached #4 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart shortly after its release in 1982, and started to drop down the chart. The single "Rosanna" hit #2. The song "Africa" was released as the third single and it became the group's only No. 1 hit. "I Won't Hold You Back" came next and hit the top 10. With the success of "Africa", the album climbed back to the top 10 in early 1983. The other singles were "Make Believe" and "Waiting for Your Love".
