The album was nominated four times by the Gay & Lesbian American Music Awards, an organization that provided the foundation for the recognition of the excellence of LGBT artists. Wainwright won the title of Best New Artist, while the album was nominated for Album of the Year and "April Fools" was nominated for Video of the Year and Best Pop Recording. The GLAAD Media Awards, created by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) to recognize and honor the mainstream media for their fair and accurate representations of the LGBT community, awarded Rufus Wainwright as the year's Outstanding Music Album. At the Juno Awards of 1999, Rufus Wainwright won the award for Best Alternative Album.
