The duo established their success with their debut single "All The Things She Said", which gained acclaim from music journalists and critics, who deemed it one of the best singles in early 2000s.

As of 2012, t.A.T.u. have sold over 15 million records, and both the Russian and English version of 200 Km/h are listed amongst the best-selling albums by a girl group.

"All The Things She Said" was ranked at number 452 in Blender magazine's The 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born. The song was listed at number 8 on the AOL's Top 100 Pop Songs of the Decade. Rebecca Bary from The New Zealand Herald listed the song at number five on their Top Ten Best Singles of 2003. Bill Lamb from About.com listed the song on his Top 100 Pop Songs of 2003 at number 31 and on his Top 10 Contemporary Girl Group Songs at number ten.

In 2008, the group received the MTV Legend award by MTV Russia. The group is the most successful Russian musical export of all time. Katina stated to Billboard Magazine; "People will remember us for great songs, being free, taking life as it is and not being afraid of anything, "[There were] provocative images of two girls kissing each other, but the second thing was the really great music." In 2006, both Lena and Yulia were awarded "Woman of the Year" by GQ's Person of the Year Awards, but were not awarded under the band name.
