Uncle Luke was a success, peaking at number 51 on the Billboard 200 and number 8 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and spawned a single, "Scarred", which made it to No. 64 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 7 on the Hot Rap Singles, the song was also turned into a video.

Uncle Luke was joint-distributed through Alliance Entertainment Corporation and the Island Black Music division of Island Records (though they weren't directly mentioned in name) and is the first and only Luke solo album released under the temporary new umbrella name, Luther Campbell Music after Luke Records went into bankruptcy, sold its catalog to Joseph "Lil' Joe" Weinberger (ultimately forming Lil' Joe Records) and went under reconstruction. The Luke Records name was almost instantly reinstated months later.
