On the US Billboard 200, Janet Jackson had its peak at number 63. The Baltimore Afro-American noted that the album had been released, commenting that Jackson does not have any members of the Jackson family helping out, that she is relying "solely on her own talent", and that she has "the poised voice of a dynamic individual." The album was released on September 21, 1982, by A&M Records. Jackson took the idea from a Helmut Newton photograph of actress Elizabeth Taylor submerged in a swimming pool, which she found "dramatic". The cover photo was shot by Harry Langdon in the swimming pool of the Jackson family's home. Moore and Winbush share production credits with Foster Sylvers, Jerry Weaver, and Bobby Watson. Songwriters Angela Winbush and René Moore contributed to much of the album's lyrics.
She was assisted by her father, working with a number of songwriters and producers. Jackson was sixteen when she began recording the album. Worldwide, the album has sold 300,000 copies. The cover artwork of Jackson's body submerged in water was based on a Helmut Newton photo of Elizabeth Taylor. Jackson performed "Young Love" and "Say You Do" on American TV shows American Bandstand and Soul Train in 1982. Three singles from the album had little impact on Billboard Hot 100 charts, among them " Young Love", " Come Give Your Love to Me" and " Say You Do", though these singles achieved success on the R&B charts. On release Janet Jackson charted on the Billboard 200 and in New Zealand. Janet Jackson is described as a dance and contemporary R&B record.
