Ignition was certified gold on January 22, 1996, nearly two years after the release of Smash, and has sold over one million copies worldwide. For the album's 20th anniversary in 2012, The Offspring played Ignition in its entirety for some selected concerts. They also performed the album in 2017 at a benefit concert for 924 Gilman Street.

The band re-recorded Ignition's sixth track "Dirty Magic" for their ninth studio album Days Go By, released twenty years later.
