Both had been major hits for Capitol and, between them, had produced six top ten singles. With their success, Capitol seemed determined more than ever to push Newton further into the pop market. Dirty Looks produced three modest hits. Tell Her No, a reworking of The Zombies's 1965 top ten hit, peaked at No. 27 on the Billboard Pop chart while Dirty Looks only reached No. 90. Stranger at My Door had a modest peak at No. 45 on the Billboard Country chart. In summing up the album's modest success, the music critic Ian McFarlane noted, "The first clue was the album cover which featured a series of nine photos of Juice looking bright, playful and not a little coy, whereas with previous covers (Juice and Quiet Lies in particular) she?d radiated a quiet confidence and sheer determination by staring straight at the camera lens. The second clue was the preponderance of synthesizer arrangements and big crashing guitar chords among the songs written by rock and pop based performers such as Van Stephenson (Dirty Looks), Rod Argent (Tell Her No) and Marc Jordan (Slipping Away). Even the usually restrained Otha Young seemed to be working the big pop riffs with Don't Bother Me. Despite this, Dirty Looks sold well enough in Canada to be certified Gold on October 13, 1983.
