"Bluebird", the first of three singles from the album, was released on June 23, 1975,〔(2006) ''The Woman I Am: The Definitive Collection'' by Helen Reddy (booklet ). Los Angeles: Capitol Records 09463-57613-2-0.〕 debuted on ''Billboards Hot 100 in the issue of the magazine dated July 5, and reached number 35 over the course of six weeks there.〔.〕 That same issue also marked its debut on the magazine's Easy Listening chart, where it spent eight weeks and peaked at number five,〔.〕 and on the RPM singles chart it got as high as number 51. Reddy comments on the tune, "I love Leon Russell's writing and I love this song. It was an integral part of my repertoire for nearly 30 years, and I never tired of singing it."〔
The second single, "Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady", made its debut on the pop chart in the August 9 issue and went to number eight during its 16 weeks there.〔 Its first appearance on the Easy Listening chart came two weeks later, in the August 23 issue, and it remained there for 11 weeks, one of which was at number one,〔 and on the Canadian singles chart it enjoyed two weeks at number two. Reddy recalls this about the ballad: "Written by the talented Harriet Schock, a fine singer in her own right, this song really struck a nerve with many listeners."〔 The song also earned her a Grammy nomination in the category of Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female, but the award went to Janis Ian for "At Seventeen".〔.〕
"Somewhere in the Night", the album's third single, came out on November 17 of that year〔 and had its debut in the November 29 issue on the Easy Listening chart, where it made it as high as number two during its 14-week run.〔 The following issue, on December 6, saw its first appearance on the pop chart, where it also stayed for 14 weeks but had a peak position at number 19,〔 and in RPM it was a number 27 pop hit. Reddy: "Barry Manilow also recorded this song but graciously conceded that he thought my version was better. I don't think it possible for anyone to make a bad recording of such a great tune."〔
