The single was a relative failure — according to Elvis Presley's official website, it was "the first regularly scheduled Elvis single not to reach the Top 10" in the United States — which prompted RCA to scale back the packaging and retail price of theaccompanying soundtrack album, whose sales would be only "little more than half of those forGirls! Girls! Girls!".[1][6]
