Jennifer Rush performed poorly on the charts compared to Jennifer's earlier albums. In Germany the album peaked at 35 on the albums chart, her first studio album to miss the Top 20 in this country. [3] The album stayed on the chart for 10 weeks, at the time the shortest chart run of any of her albums. [3] In Switzerland, the album was also her first to miss the Top 20, instead peaking at 38 and staying on the chart for 3 weeks. [4] Jennifer Rush was Jennifer's first album to fail to chart in Sweden. [5]
In Austria, the album charted for one week at no. 40, an improvement compared to her previous album Wings of Desire which did not reach the Top 40 at all. [6]
Music & Media noted the album's songs were "perfectly shaped for her vocal abilities, making it a dream for AC programmers", and compared the song "Wherever You Are" to ballads by Whitney Houston. [7]
The album track "I Can't Say No" received radio adds in Denmark soon after the album's release. [8] Despite this, it never became a single.
