The album was certified Platinum on May 20,2005,by the RIAA for sales of one million copies in the United States. The single "Collide" was certified Gold on September 15,2005.
On September 27,2003,a full band tour began to promote the album.
After its release the record received lukewarm reactions. Rolling Stone's author Pat Blashill referred to the album as "[...] not bad. It's tender and well-felt and pretty. But [...] the music feels indistinct,even sorta impersonal."[4] Devon Powers from PopMatters noted that "Stop All the World Now is an album you have a crush on,not one you fall deeply,complexly,and foolishly in love with. And crushes have a way of disappearing suddenly,without a trace."[3]
