Surfacing featured the hit singles: "Building a Mystery", "Sweet Surrender", "Adia" and "Angel". All singles charted inside top 10 in Canada, including number one for "Building a Mystery". All singles charted on the Billboard Hot 100, and two of them became McLachlan's first top 10 hits on that chart: "Adia" at number three and "Angel" at number four. At the 40th Annual Grammy Awards, "Building a Mystery" won a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and "Last Dance" from Surfacing won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. Surfacing was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Album. At the 41st Annual Grammy Awards, "Adia" was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

At the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards, "I Will Remember You" (Live) won a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Mirrorball was nominated for Best Pop Album and "Possession" (Live) was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. "Silence" by Delerium featuring McLachlan became one of the greatest trance songs of all time.

It also peaked at number two in Belgium, number three in the United Kingdom, number five in Canada, number six in Australia, number seven in the Netherlands, and charted in many other countries.

Over the years, McLachlan also released compilations with rare songs like Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff (1996) and Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff Volume 2 (2008), and albums with remixes: Remixed (2001) and Bloom: Remix Album (2005).
