The album slowly became a massive hit, spinning off four singles into the top 40 of the American pop charts: "How Does It Feel to Be Back" (No. 30 in fall, 1980), "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" (No. 12 in winter, 1980), "Kiss on My List" (No. 1 for three weeks in spring, 1981), and "You Make My Dreams" (No. 5 in summer, 1981). "Everytime You Go Away" was not released as a single, but was covered by Paul Young in 1985, when it went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Singers Elisa Chan and Danny Summer covered this song in Cantonese in 1985 and 1986.
Voices was the first album that Hall & Oates produced by themselves, working in conjunction with renowned engineer Neil Kernon.
The original LP album cover was in black and white and had several variations with the duo in different poses and the half circle, sound-like waves were embossed and raised; a marketing technique commonly used in late-1970s record sleeve packaging. It was subsequently replaced in 1981 with a color photograph of the duo, excluding the original pose of Hall "escaping" from his white trench coat-like jacket. The album was re-released in 2004 as a remastered version with a slightly different cover photo but no additional tracks. The Japanese re-release version had two extra tracks: a remixed version of "Kiss on My List" that had previously appeared on the album 12 Inch Collection 2 and a remix of "Everytime You Go Away" that was also available on the album The Ballads Collection - RCA 100th Anniversary Series.
