The album includes the band's biggest stateside hit, "Cutie Pie", which peaked at #61 on the Hot 100 (the band's only foray onto the Hot 100), #29 on the dance charts, and #4 on the R&B charts.[3] The album's title track, "Who's Foolin' Who" was also released as a single[4] and was later covered by the Eurodance band, Double You.
The album itself peaked #51 on the Billboard 200 and #8 on the R&B charts. Aside from 1984's #1 R&B album, Lady, this album is the highest charting in their seven-year run.
Incidentally, former One Way vocalist Alicia Myers released a solo album that same year (1982) entitled I Fooled You this Time.[5] It is unclear which album (Myers' or this one) was recorded first, but evidently, the similarity in album titles was intentional. Specifically, if her album was released first, then One Way's album title Who's Foolin' Who can be seen as a sort of "response" to her album, or vice versa. Ironically, it turns out that the songs on Myers' album were written and produced by One Way bandmembers,[5] so apparently, the whole sequence of events was tongue-in-cheek, and there was no animosity between the two camps.
