Destiny's Child is the self-titled debut album of R&B group Destiny's Child, released by Columbia Records in February 17, 1998. It featured the singles "No, No, No" and "With Me". It won Best R&B/Soul Album of the Year at the Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards, but due to both singles having a remix ("Part 2") as well as having an original version ("Part 1"), all singles preceded the album.

The album spent twenty six weeks on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. In the UK, it debuted in the top 75 of the albums chart on the strength of its lead single, "No, No, No". The album did go on to sell 1 million copies worldwide,[1] and was re-packaged and re-released in several countries after the success of the follow-up album, The Writing's on the Wall. The album was met with mostly positive critical acclaim.

Allmusic 4/5 stars[2]
The Rolling Stone Album Guide 3/5 stars[3]

John Bush of the website Allmusic graded the album with four out of five stars and wrote that "Destiny's Child isn't quite just another debut album from an R&B girl group... Their voices sound beautiful together. Still, much of the album sounds indistinguishable from all the other female groups out there.[2]
