The album peaked at No. 125 on the Billboard 200.[13] The single "She's Mad" reached No. 3 on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart.[14]
The album was produced by Nick Launay.[15] The cover portrays angels gathered around a cartoon dog (god spelled backward).[16]
The New York Times wrote that "Byrne has finally figured out how to make the wacky Pan-American dance album he's been after since the mid-1980's."[17] The Guardian deemed Uh-Oh "the most Talking-Heads-esque of Byrne’s solo albums, albeit with a Latin-American influence."[18] The Washington Post thought that Byrne's "yelps, which range from intentionally comic to comically arty, rarely dominate their rhythmically dense, albeit melodically bland, settings."[19] The Orlando Sentinel wrote that the "Afro-Brazilian influences are more fully integrated now than on 1989's Rei Momo."[20]
The track "A Million Miles Away" was used as the theme song of the TV show Flying Blind.
