Track "Love Street" was released as a single after the group had left the label. "I Need Your Love" was released as a single in Brazil in 1980, while "Tokyo" became a single in Japan in 1982. The album was released on CD for the first time in 2019 as part of a Dollar box-set by Cherry Red Records. At the same time it was re-issued as a gold-coloured vinyl album with "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" added.
Dollar left Carrere Records in early 1980 and signed to WEA Records where they went on to find even greater success. Eager to cash in on this, their original label re-released Shooting Stars as The Very Best of Dollar with a new cover and added track - their fourth and final hit with the label, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". Another single, "Ring Ring" was released to coincide with the album, which clashed with Dollar's latest official single, "Give Me Back My Heart". The album actually improved on its original chart performance, reaching no. 31, which was surprising considering that it featured none of Dollar's recent hits and received no promotion from the duo themselves. The album was certified Silver by the BPI later in the year.
