The track peaked at #22 in the U.S., and became a Gold record. It spent 21 weeks on the American charts, six weeks longer than his bigger hit, "Everlasting Love." It reached #34 in the UK Singles Chart.
"She's a Bad Mama Jama" also spent eight weeks at number two on the R&B/Soul chart. It was blocked from the top spot by Diana Ross's and Lionel Richie's song, "Endless Love".
