There are three different versions of the album cover. The original versions had Minogue wearing white and holding a microphone. This version was distributed to Australia and Europe. When the album was later released in the U.S. and Asia, the cover was changed to the headshot with the necklace. The cover for the bonus disc edition is similar to the original, but with Minogue wearing a blue PVC costume instead..

The album reached number one in over ten countries and charted in the top five or ten in many others. It reached number one in both the UK and Australia. It peaked at number three on the United States album chart, spending over forty-five weeks on the chart, longer than any other album released the week it was. Fever is Minogue's most successful album to date in that market. It also reached a peak of number ten in Canada.

One of the probably reasons for the record's huge success (both commercial and critical) was that it was not just for pop fans. The sophisticated (yet still danceable) songs like "CGYOOMH", "In Your Eyes" and "Fever" appealed to both teenage girls and London clubbers. Many club owners saw the record as Minogue becoming 'cool' again, and even non-single tracks became club staples in 2002.
