"Stand on It" was released as a single and reached No. 35 on Billboard' s Mainstream Rock chart. "Sling Shot" was featured in the 1990 horror comedy film Gremlins 2: The New Batch South Atlantic Raiders The Comic Strip Presents
In a further move from his previous jazz fusion stylings, Beck adopts a more straightforward instrumental rock approach on Guitar Shop , save for two tracks ("Guitar Shop" and "Day in the House") on which drummer Terry Bozzio provides quirky spoken vocals.
Following Beck's death in 2023, guitarist Brian May described "Where Were You" as "possibly the most beautiful bit of guitar music ever recorded, probably alongside Jimi Hendrix 's 'Little Wing '".
