The film's reviews were negative, earning Diamond the first Razzie for Worst Actor at the
1st Golden Raspberry Awards, but made a modest profit at the
box office, grossing almost double its budget. However, its soundtrack was a huge success and became Neil Diamond's biggest selling album in the United States, selling over 5 million copies there and reaching #3 on the
pop albums chart. This would mark the second time a Neil Diamond soundtrack outperformed the movie from which it came (after Jonathan Livingston Seagull). Three songs from the album became top ten hits on the
Billboard Hot 100, with "
Love on the Rocks", "
Hello Again" and "
America" reaching Nos. 2, 6, and 8, respectively.
