Within its first two years of release, it sold 3 million copies in the United States.{{cite web|last=Hunt|first=Dennis|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-06-21-ca-1154-story.html|title=Off to a Fast Start and Making a Supreme Effort|work=Los Angeles Times|date=June 21, 1992|access-date=March 4, 2018}} The album produced four major single releases, including "Lies", "You Don't Have to Worry", and their debut song "Hold On", all of which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart. The band's second album, Funky Divas, was released in March 1992. It debuted at number one on the US Top R&B Albums chart, and at number eight on the Billboard 200, while peaking at number four on the UK Albums Chart. It reached triple platinum status in the US, where it sold 5 million copies, becoming the seventh highest-selling R&B albums of the year as well as En Vogue's biggest-selling album to date. Funky Divas spawned five singles, including "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)", Aretha Franklin cover "Giving Him Something He Can Feel", "Free Your Mind", "Give It Up, Turn It Loose," and "Love Don't Love You."

EV3 was awarded platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), indicating sales in excess of one million copies. Elsewhere, it entered the top forty on most charts it appeared on, reaching the top ten in Germany, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. EV3 produced three hit singles, including platinum-selling hit single "Don't Let Go (Love)", as well as "Whatever" and "Too Gone, Too Long".{{cite magazine |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IA8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA61 |title=Best-Selling Records of 1996 |magazine=Billboard|publisher=BPI Communications Inc.|date=January 18, 1997 |accessdate=March 4, 2018 |page=61 |issn=0006-2510|volume=109|number=3}} Masterpiece Theatre, En Vogue's fourth album, was released in May 200. A commercial disappointment, it debuted and peaked at number 33 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and at number 67 on the Billboard 200, a considerable drop from their previous efforts.{{cite web|first=Ana|last=Martinez|title=Arithmetricks|publisher=Vibe|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1SYEAAAAMBAJ&q=%22MASTERPIECE+THEATRE%22+%22FLOPPED%22+%22EN+VOGUE%22&pg=PA64|date=May 1, 2003|accessdate=March 4, 2018}} Internationally, the album failed to enter the top forty on the majority of the few charts it appeared on, through it reached number 22 and number 28 of the German and Swiss Albums Charts, where it ranks among the band's highest peaks in both countries. While first and only single "Riddle" became a top thirty hit in several European countries, Elektra Records refused to release further singles after the weak overall performance of the project, resulting in their departure from the label.{{cite web|first=Meghan|last=O'Keefe |title=Bach & Roll: 10 Modern Songs Written By Classical Composers|url=https://www.vh1.com/news/kegjp0/10-modern-songs-written-by-classical-composers|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220629101644/https://www.vh1.com/news/kegjp0/10-modern-songs-written-by-classical-composers|url-status=live|archive-date=June 29, 2022|publisher=VH1|date=July 31, 2013|accessdate=March 4, 2018}}
In October 2002, En Vogue's first holiday album The Gift of Christmas was released. Recorded along with Amanda Cole, it was produced and distributed through Discretion Records and featured four original songs and eight cover versions of Christmas standards and carols.{{cite web|first=Quentin|last=Harrison |title=Interview: En Vogue's Cindy Herron-Braggs, Forever a Funky Diva |url=http://www.albumism.com/interviews/en-vogue-cindy-herron-braggs-forever-a-funky-diva|publisher=Albumism|date=March 23, 2017|accessdate=March 4, 2018}} The album failed to chart. In 2003, Cole left and new member Rhona Bennett was brought in during the recording process of sixth album Soul Flower, their debut with independent label 33rd Street Records. Upon its release, the album debuted at number 47 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and number 15 on the Independent Albums charts. In support of it, two singles, including "Losin' My Mind" and "Ooh Boy", were released. In 2005, the original members of the band briefly united before disassembling again. In 2009, they once again reunited for a concert tour, and though new material as a quartet was announced, Robinson and Jones again departed from En Vogue, with Bennett rejoining the group as a trio.{{cite web |url=http://popaddicts.com/new-music-en-vogue-ill-cry-later-radio-rip/ |title=New Music: En Vogue – "I'll Cry Later" (Radio Rip) « Pop Addicts |publisher=Popaddicts.com |accessdate=March 4, 2018 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120421064141/http://popaddicts.com/new-music-en-vogue-ill-cry-later-radio-rip/ |archivedate=2012-04-21 }} In 2014, En Vogue signed to Pyramid Records and released the songs "Emotions", "A Thousand Times", and "O Holy Night", which were featured in the Lifetime movie An En Vogue Christmas.[http://pyramidrecords.net/en-vogue/ En Vogue | Pyramid Records] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161001114648/http://pyramidrecords.net/en-vogue/ |date=2016-10-01 }}.
