Chart Performance
"I Want You" received very little radio airplay on mainstream radio, instead receiving more airplay at urban stations. Jackson earned several award nominations including Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 2005 Grammy Awards. It was released under a LidRock CD and was certified platinum by the RIAA in 2004. The song was only released as a single in the U.S., appearing as a double A-side with "All Nite (Don't Stop)" in some international markets such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and Japan. "All Nite (Don't Stop)" c/w "I Want You" peaked at #19 in the UK as a double-sided single.
The single peaked at number fifty-seven on the Billboard Hot 100 and number eighteen on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. However, due to the strain on the singles from Damita Jo, it failed to impact the pop charts.

“Perhaps in His wisdom the Almighty is trying to show us that a leader may chart the way, may point out the road to lasting peace, but that many leaders and many peoples must do the building.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“When a book, any sort of book, reaches a certain intensity of artistic performance it becomes literature. That intensity may be a matter of style, situation, character, emotional tone, or idea, or half a dozen other things. It may also be a perfection of control over the movement of a story similar to the control a great pitcher has over the ball.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
