It peaked at number five on the US 'Billboard' Hot 100, and was the 65th and 58th most successful song on the American pop charts in 1995 and 1996 respectively. The song was the duo's biggest international success. It was a hit in Australia, peaking at number six on the ARIA singles chart for three weeks in February 1996. "Tell Me" was certified gold in Australia, and was placed at number 55 on the highest-selling singles of the 1996 Australian chart. The single also peaked at number 31 in the UK, and number 14 in New Zealand.
In 2003, Raymond & Co wrote Playing Games which was melodically inspired by Tell Me. In 2017, Australian singer Starley wrote "Touch Me", which was also heavily inspired by "Tell Me".
