Erra Fazira's versatile talent is well-recognized through her work as a singer, with her songs spanning various genres including pop, ballads, and upbeat tunes. She initially preferred singing as her primary career, stating that acting opportunities arose after director Yusof Haslam offered her roles.
In her acting career, Erra continues to be hailed as the "Primadona of Malay Cinema," maintaining her popularity despite the emergence of many new talents. Her influence as an actress in Malay cinema history remains significant. While former Utusan Malaysia journalist Khadijah Ibrahim suggested that Erra was often typecast in "less challenging" roles, such as teenagers or gentle, melancholic characters, others offer contrasting views. Hafidah Samat, a former journalist for New Straits Times, described Erra as "the brighten up of the film industry, excellent in comedy and sentimental dramas that allowed her to grow as an actress." Film director Yusof Haslam, who collaborated with Erra on several films including Sembilu, Maria Mariana, Pasrah, and Gerak Khas The Movie, praised her versatility, noting that her "artistic achievements are increasing and her materialistic rewards are also rising. Everything Erra Fazira touches seems to turn to gold."
In a 2011 interview with mStar Online, Erra admitted that she does not attach much importance to the "Primadona of Malay Cinema" title, considering it "something fleeting." Siti Azira Abd Aziz, also writing for mStar Online, commended Erra for her enduring beauty. When asked about her principles regarding a woman's appearance, Erra emphasized the importance of maintaining one's appearance in a manner suitable for oneself, stating that "clothing reflects one's personality" and that "beauty and appearance are very important because outsiders will interpret one's self based on what they see."

She later developed a relationship with singer Yusry Abdul Halim from the group KRU after a magazine photoshoot in 1998, with their relationship becoming serious in 2001. Erra and Yusry were married on June 15, 2003, at the At-Taqwa Mosque, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur. Their marriage, however, concluded on June 16, 2006, when Yusry pronounced a talak satu (unilateral divorce) at their residence.
In June 2007, Erra's personal life again drew media attention when actor Hans Isaac publicly announced the end of his relationship with her, despite both having previously denied any romantic involvement. Speculation arose that Engku Emran Engku Zainal Abidin, then Chief Operating Officer of Suria FM, was a factor in their separation. Erra and Engku Emran became officially engaged on September 7, 2007, in a simple ceremony at her Damansara Kim residence, and they married on October 25, 2007, with a copy of the Qur'an as her only marriage gift. Their marriage ended in divorce by talak satu on February 17, 2014.
