Nice Girls and My Boyfriend's Back were released as singles, with the former peaking at no. 42 in the Billboard Hot 100. Both became top 40 hits on the Adult Contemporary chart. The compilation peaked at no. 43 in the USA, and was a steady seller, eventually being certified gold in 1989 by the RIAA.
