"Thank You" performed moderately well in the UK eventually peaking at #26 on the UK Singles Chart. [5] The song also peaked at #17 on the New Zealand RIANZ singles chart, #27 on the French singles chart and #33 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart. [6] The album version of the song is a cappella, consisting only of sounds created by the human voice, bringing to mind (and, at one time, quoting) one of their first hit songs, "Motownphilly".

Critical reception

Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report wrote, "Coming to the end of the road for ballads (at least until this track peaks), Motown's most successful and exciting act in decades turns up the heat. Slow jammin' or slammin' it, the Boyz's sound is hard to top." [7]
