The result was a subdued and electronica-tinged sound. The album was well received by critics, becoming the third straight Pumpkins album to be nominated for the Grammy's Best Alternative Music Performance, and over the years it has gained an immense cult following. A remastered and expanded version was released in 2014 containing 74 bonus tracks.
After the massively successful Infinite Sadness tour, Billy Corgan found himself facing many difficult issues, including musical burnout, the absence of his "best friend and musical soul mate in the band" Jimmy Chamberlin, the end of his marriage, and the death of his mother to cancer. He said much of the record was "an attempt to go back to what's important at a musical core and build it outward." He later said on the band's website that the title was a misunderstood joke, explaining that Adore was meant as a play on "A Door", meaning the album would offer a new entrance to the band's career.
Art direction for the album is credited to Frank Olinsky, Billy Corgan and his then-girlfriend and frequent collaborator Yelena Yemchuk. The artwork for the album and its singles consisted almost entirely of black-and-white photographs shot by Yemchuk, many of which featured fashion model Amy Wesson (including both the original and 2014 covers).
Rolling Stone regarded Adore as the band's "most intimate album … and also the prettiest." Pitchfork described the album as "the Pumpkins' best offering since Siamese Dream", praising the lyrics, especially on "To Sheila". It entered the US charts at #2 with 174,000 units of the album sold, and was certified platinum five weeks later, and eventually went platinum in four other countries. It peaked at #1 in five countries, and in the top 10 in at least 15 countries.
