According to Mutemath's management, Mutemath sold nearly 10,000 copies in the first month of its release, selling almost 100 copies per day via their website. The album was also released as a two-disc vinyl record in May 2006. On September 26, 2006, the album was re-released on Warner Bros. Records, featuring additional tracks from Reset. A limited-edition live EP was included with the first 25,000 copies. The album debuted on Billboard'sTop Heatseekers Chart at No. 17. It reappeared on the same chart almost a year later at No. 28 on August 4, 2007 while the first radio single "Typical" debuted at No. 39 on Billboard'sUS Modern Rock Chart the same week. To date, the album has sold over 100,000 copies since its original release. The second single from Mutemath, "Control", was released to radio on January 15, 2008.

Differences in the WBR re-release
The Warner Bros. version is mostly the same as the original version. There are, however, a few notable differences:
"Without It"/"Polite" is replaced by a new version of "Plan B", featuring re-recorded guitars along with various small differences.
"Break the Same" is shortened by approximately 1 minute and 22 seconds. The second chorus and most of the bridge section are cut out. The block of time removed begins after the second verse and before the second pre-chorus, and ends in the middle of the bridge section. The skip actually occurs in the middle of the phrase "And we all freaked out"; an attentive listener will be able to hear the jump.
"You Are Mine" is shortened by approximately 1 minute and 25 seconds. The reprise of the first verse is cut out, along with the chorus repetitions surrounding it. The block of time removed begins at the middle of the third chorus and ends at middle of the fourth chorus.
A new version of "Control" is inserted between "You Are Mine" and "Picture", featuring re-recorded bass and drums.
"Picture" features a different vocal take of the first verse.
"Reset" appears after "Stall Out", with minor audio changes.
