As of 2020, Come On Over has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide,[14] shipped over 20 million copies in the United States,[15] with over 15.7 million copies sold according to Nielsen SoundScan,[16] and another 1.99 million through BMG Music Clubs. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and stayed there for 50 non-consecutive weeks and is recognized by Guinness World Records as the album with the most weeks at No.1 on the US Top Country Albums chart.[17] It stayed in the top ten for 151 weeks. Ten of the sixteen tracks hit the top 20 of the Hot Country Songs chart, eight of which hit top 10, including three No. 1s.[18] Seven of the tracks also made the Top 50 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Twain promoted the album with television performances and interviews. It was further promoted with the successful Come On Over Tour, which visited North America, Oceania and Europe. Out of the album's sixteen tracks, twelve were released as singles, including "Love Gets Me Every Time", "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)", "You're Still the One", "From This Moment On", "That Don't Impress Me Much" and "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!". The album was also promoted with a succession of music videos for the singles. The fifth single, "When", was the only single from the album to not be released in the United States.
The album was nominated for six awards at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and Best Country Album. "You're Still the One", which peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 2, was nominated for four awards, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance, winning the latter two.[19] The album received a further three nominations at the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year for "You've Got a Way", Best Female Country Vocal Performance for "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" and Best Country Song for "Come On Over", winning the latter two.
History
After releasing and promoting her breakthrough album The Woman in Me, Come On Over saw Twain entirely collaborating with producer and then husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange on a variety of country pop numbers, mostly uptempo. Given much more creative freedom than for its predecessor, Twain and Lange sought to break the conventional country music formula on the album and explore the country pop genre to its fullest extent.
Twain decided not to tour off The Woman in Me partly because she felt she needed more powerful music to do a powerful show.[18] Twain and her husband commenced songwriting material for the album as early as 1994, and often wrote apart to later intertwine their ideas. The recording process was intensive, with Lange dedicating overzealous time and patience to each individual track. Though the singer indicated her sonic preferences, she ultimately ceded all production to Lange. On the international version, Twain and Lange revisited the tracks to strip them of country influences and increase the album's marketability beyond the US and Canada.
The album was a blockbuster success, becoming the biggest-selling studio album of all time by a female artist, the biggest-selling country music album, the biggest-selling album by a Canadian act and the ninth biggest-selling album in music history. Three different versions of the album were released, the original country version, released in 1997, and the revised pop/international versions released in 1998 and 1999. The album was also supported by an extensive world tour by Twain.

The album received generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics. AllMusic praised the album for successfully breaking free of traditional country stereotypes (musical brevity, a blatant honkey-tonk image, etc.), while also praising Twain for crafting an album with just as much pop/rock appeal as country appeal. Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly praised the album for successfully incorporating a substantial rock influence without losing its country sensibilities.
The album was listed at number 21 in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame's Definitive 200.[29] In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked the album at number 300 in their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[30]
Commercial performance
Twain topped her own record with the release of Come On Over, beating out her previous diamond-selling album The Woman in Me, as the best-selling country music album ever released. Debuting at number two on the US Billboard 200 with a moderate 172,000 copies (3,000 units behind Mase's Harlem World), the album showed its consistency when it moved another 170,000 copies in its second week (a 1.2% decrease) to stay at number two again behind Barbra Streisand's Higher Ground. The RIAA certified Come on Over gold, platinum and two-times platinum on December 23, 1997. It sold more than 100,000 units in 62 different weeks. The album's best sales week was its 110th week, during which it sold 355,000 units to settle at number 10 during the Christmas week of 1999. The album stayed inside the top ten for 54 weeks, set a record for longest stay in the top twenty of the Billboard 200 of 112 weeks, and in top forty for 127 consecutive weeks.
Come On Over topped the Billboard Country album chart for a record 50 weeks, finishing second to Garth Brooks' Sevens in 1998, finishing first in 1999, and third in 2000 behind Dixie Chicks' Fly and Faith Hill's Breathe. It sold 1,620,000 copies throughout 1997, while ranking as the third best-selling album of 1998 in the US with 4,873,000 units sold and the fourth best-selling album of 1999 with 5,618,000 units sold. Come On Over was the second best-selling album of the 1990s decade in the US with 12,110,660 units sold according to Nielsen SoundScan, and was certified diamond by the RIAA on April 7, 1999.[18]
Come On Over was the first album to reach both 14 million (in September 2001) and 15 million (in August 2004) in sales in the US since 1991, when Nielsen SoundScan started tracking music sales.[31] It ranks as the second best-selling album of the Nielsen SoundScan era in the US, with over 15,730,000 copies sold by October 2017,[16][18] behind its nearest rival, Metallica's 1991 self-titled album (16.1 million as of 2015).[32] However, these figures do not include sales through such entities as BMG Music Club, where Come on Over has sold 1,990,000 copies while Metallica has sold fewer than 298,000 copies.[33]
The album topped the charts for 11 weeks in the UK. The album is one of the highest-selling albums ever in Australia, reaching eighteen-times platinum and spending 19 weeks at number one and 165 weeks in the top 100 (or more than three years). It is still the best-selling album of the 1990s in Australia.[34]

Revised international version
The album was later re-released after the success of "That Don't Impress Me Much". This 'revised version' included The Right Mix of "From This Moment On", the Notting Hill Remix for "You've Got a Way" and the (UK) Dance Remix for "That Don't Impress Me Much". In most countries this mix is titled the "Dance Mix Edit" but for the UK, Netherlands and Germany it was titled the "UK Dance Mix". The Australian Tour Edition features the same changes but includes a 4:28 edit of the regular Dance Mix of "That Don't Impress Me Much" rather than the shorter UK edit, along with a bonus disc with 6 tracks. It was later reissued as a single disc with 3 of the tracks from the second disc added.
Some Asian versions featured a bonus VCD with three videos and an interview.
In the US, this version of the album was released, titled simply as the "International Version", to coincide with both international success and the fact that the original version of the album had maintained heavy chart success throughout the past two years.
