"I Can't Hear You No More" was released in the United States on July 26, 1976,[7] and debuted on Billboard's Hot 100 in the issue of the magazine dated August 7, eventually making it to number 29 over the course of nine weeks.[8] In the following issue, dated August 14, it made its first appearance on the magazine's Easy Listening chart, where it spent 11 weeks, one of which was at number one.[9] In RPM magazine the song got as high as number 36 pop.[10]
In Billboard's August 28 issue the single's B-side, "Music Is My Life", started to be listed on the Hot 100 alongside "I Can't Hear You No More"[8] as a "tag along" to indicate that some radio stations were opting to play the flip side of the original hit that charted.[11] While "Music Is My Life" did not have any showings on the list of Easy Listening hits,[9] a third song from the album, "Gladiola", began a 12-week chart run there in the issue dated November 13 of that year that included a number 10 peak position[9] but saw no activity on the pop chart.[8]
