Wild and Peaceful peaked at #18 on the Black Albums chart and #94 on the Billboard Albums chart. The lead single "I'm a Sucker for Your Love" reached #8 on the US Black Singles chart and #43 in the UK, and was followed by a cover version of "Don't Look Back" originally recorded by The Temptations.
Motown didn't include a photograph of the singer on the album sleeve, leading many listeners to assume she was African-American.
