The album became her third number one on the Top Country Albums chart and her first top ten album on the all-genre Billboard 200, peaking at number seven. The lead single, "My Give a Damn's Busted", became one of her most successful singles to date, topping the Hot Country Songs chart for two weeks. Follow-up singles "Delicious Surprise (I Believe It)", "Not Going Down", and "It's Too Late to Worry", although less successful, all peaked within the top-forty. The album has been certified Gold by the RIAA.

Following this album, Messina wouldn't release another commercially released album until 2014, with her sixth studio album Me. The singer had attempted a follow up to Delicious Surprise titled Unmistakable. Three singles were released from this album, "Biker Chick", "I'm Done", and "Shine" but after Messina's label refused the release of "Shine" and delayed the album even more, the album was scrapped and it was divided into three EPs, with Unmistakable: Love charting on Billboard charts. It was the last project Messina released for Curb Records before she left the label in 2012.
