It also charted in several international markets, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The album received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its energetic sound and catchy melodies, though some noted a departure from the band's earlier, heavier sound.

Several singles were released in support of the album, including "Taking Off," "Bedroom Warfare," "We Are," and "American Girls." Ambitions was supported by the Ambitions Japan Tour and the Ambitions World Tour.
