Now! 34 debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 albums chart with sales of 88,000 copies sold. This marks the first Now album to sell less than 100,000 copies in its first week since the first volume of the Now series in 1998. [2] In November 2010, the album was certified Gold by the RIAA. [3]

This album was dedicated to Bob Mercer, the man credited with bringing the Now! series to the United States, as Mercer had recently died at 65 from lung cancer on May 5, 2010. Written on the pamphlet is "Bob's passion for music shines through every record, and he is greatly missed." [4] In memoriam, "Hello Sunshine" was written somewhere on the back artwork of nearly every release since this one. [5]

Andy Kellman of Allmusic calls the addition of the so-called bonus tracks alarming. With 16 hits and near hits and four "bonus tracks", this Now That's What I Call Music collection "is 20 percent Tomorrow That's What I Might Call Music." [1]
