Prior to the album's release, the cover artwork was included as an easter egg in the episode "Juneteenth" of Glover's FX series Atlanta.

The cover of "Awaken, My Love!" features a photo by New York City-based creative director Ibra Ake, in which model Giannina Oteto wears a beaded headdress designed by Laura Wass of WXYZ Jewelry. Glover modified his Pharos app upon its release so that users could watch the success of his first lead single, " Me and Your Mama" at Joshua Tree through a phone virtual reality lens. He performed eleven songs during the concert with minimal rapping, mainly featuring a funk/ jazz vibe. Glover wore glow-in-the-dark paint on his braids and a pink and yellow skirt, with his bandmates wearing similar attire. From September 3 to 5, nearly three months before the release of his album, Glover held three concert performances at Joshua Tree to debut the album. The concert festival was to debut the album and give the audience the "full-album experience". The app then showed the dates of his upcoming performances in Joshua Tree, where the user could also purchase tickets. The app then had the user crash down from space, placing them on a map that was located on Joshua Tree, California. The app itself placed the user in outer space looking at a small blue planet while a clock counted down to zero.

On June 17, 2016, after a hiatus from social media, Glover tweeted "pharos.earth", a link to download his new app.

The single "Redbone" also earned nominations for Record of the Year, Best R&B Song, and won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance. It received Grammy Award nominations for Album of the Year and Best Urban Contemporary Album at the 2018 Grammy Awards. The album was supported by three singles, " Me and Your Mama", " Redbone" and " Terrified". "Awaken, My Love!" received generally positive reviews from critics and debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200. The album was produced by Glover and his longtime collaborator, Ludwig Göransson. Consisting of tracks being sung rather than rapped, its fusion of psychedelic soul, funk and R&B influences was considered a bold departure from the predominantly hip hop style of his prior work.
