Upon release, the album underperformed commercially but received critical praise (especially for its second single "Run Away with Me"), although its lyrical content was somewhat divisive. However, it became somewhat of a SleeperHit throughout the rest of the year, and once it started making "best of" lists towards the end of the year, many people began to rediscover the album, and the consensus on it began warming considerably.

''E•MO•TION'' has since been deemed a CultClassic, and its delayed success an integral chapter in Jepsen's career. Following her global ubiquity from the success of her BreakthroughHit "Call Me Maybe", it was on this album that many considered her to have finally found her sound. The sustained fan support and positive word-of-mouth that the album received additionally contributed to Jepsen's status as an "indie darling" and a "cult idol".

''Emotion'' (stylized as ''E•MO•TION'') is a 2015 album by Canadian singer Music/CarlyRaeJepsen.

''E•MO•TION'' is a departure from Jepsen's previous two albums which were primarily TeenPop as Jepsen stepped in to take more creative control. Jepsen drew inspiration from 1980s music and alternative styles for ''E•MO•TION'', and the album's SynthPop and {{New Wave|Music}} sound reflects this influence. The album, when initially released, underperformed. It became somewhat of a SleeperHit through 2015, but once the album started making "Best Of" lists towards the end of that year, many people began to rediscover Jepsen's new sound, and ''E•MO•TION'' became a CultClassic and established Jepsen as an "indie darling".
