The band is often credited—alongside fellow California punk bands Green Day, Bad Religion, NOFX, Pennywise and Rancid—for reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the 1990s.

As of 2011, the album has certified sales of two million copies in the US, and is Sublime's second best-selling studio album there (the self-titled album leads with six million).  Along with The Offspring's 1994 album "Smash", "40oz.  to Freedom" is one of the highest-selling independently released albums of all time.
