"Get Ready" was Mase's poorest-performing single, largely due to his retirement from music before the song's official release, meaning that he did not promote or perform the song publicly. It failed to match the success of his previous three singles, only making it to #25 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles (125 on the U.S. Charts) and #50 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks.
