This is considered their lowest-selling album next to 2300 Jackson Street. The album peaked at No. 63 on the Billboard 200, and at No. 11 on the Billboard R&B albums chart and sold over half a million copies worldwide.[3]

Goin' Places spawned the disco-hit "Different Kind of Lady" written by the group. The song gave the brothers the confidence to write and produce an entire album by themselves.

In November, 1977 the Jacksons created music videos to promote songs from their Goin' Places album.

The "Even Though You're Gone" music video features the band members sitting (Michael separated from the rest of the group) singing the song. The video features the Jacksons wearing blue tuxedos.

The “Goin’ Places” music video has the members of the band switching from a live performance to them traveling in many different ways.

A Goin' Places Tour to promote the album began on January 22, 1978, and ended May 13, 1978.
