It eventually sold over 166,000 copies in its first week, becoming Superfly's fourth consecutive album to debut at the top of the Oricon's charts, a feat not matched by a female artist since Hikaru Utada's release of Utada Hikaru Single Collection Vol. 1 in 2004.Mind Travel also topped Billboard's Japan Top Albums list, making it her third consecutive album to debut at number one on those charts.Mind Travel was certified platinum by the RIAJ in June 2011. It also reached the number 3 spot for the Oricon's Monthly Album Chart for June 2011, and then dropped to 8 on the July 2011 Monthly Charts.

Mind Travel's lead track "Rollin' Days" is used as the theme song for the second season of Fuji Television's BOSS drama, and it was released to digital download stores on May 18, 2011. "Rollin' Days" was subsequently charted as the number 1 song on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Airplay charts.
