Following its lack of commercial success, Pallot publicly criticised the record, which, following the success of follow-up Fires in 2006, was re-shipped to stores by Polydor at a discount price. According to UK music sales publication Music Week, the album had sold a total of 10,073 copies in the UK as of 28 May 2006.[6]

Pallot has since begun playing material from Dear Frustrated Superstar frequently in concert.
