Where You Been was the first album recorded by Dinosaur Jr.'s new line-up, after the largely J Mascis-recorded Green Mind. This line-up consisted of Mascis, long-time drummer Murph, and new bassist Mike Johnson. Mascis explained in an interview with 120 Minutes, "It's the first time we've felt like a band for maybe six years or something. [Johnson] adds a lot, just having someone that I can get along with musically and personally. It just makes the record better having all the people there contributing something, rather than the last one."

Where You Been was Dinosaur Jr.'s greatest commercial success up to that point, reaching number 50 in the US and number 10 in the UK. Mascis reacted at the time, "We're just making records and, I mean, everyone sold more than the last one. Whatever happens, we'll deal with it then."

In a later interview, drummer Murph recalled the album positively, saying "Out of the records I played on, I think of Where You Been very fondly." Hüsker Dü frontman Bob Mould spoke positively of the album, commenting, "I've heard Where You Been, their new album. It's brilliant, amazing — it's even got strings. They've stopped sounding the way they did on Bug, but they've built on the same basic premise and kept those very recognizable guitar sounds. I don't know if they make a conscious effort to change, but I suppose they'd be really bored by now if they always sounded the same."
