It was released domestically in 1982 on Bennett's own record label Ritdong[1][2] and internationally in 1983 by RCA Records.[3] This recording helped get the band nominated for a 1983 Juno Award.[4][5] The album produced three singles. The most successful, "Who Knows How to Make Love Stay", peaked at #25 on the Canadian Singles Chart.[1] "Making It Work", peaked at #29.[2][3] The third single "Nobody but Me" did not chart in Canada.[4] Canadian cheese brand, Tre Stelle, uses a sample of this song, substituting some lyrics to match their slogan. RecordingThe album was released on cassette (domestically)[10] and as an LP record (domestic & international).[3] ReceptionCritical responseMusic critic Rudyard Kennedy of Allmusic stated:[12] {{Cquote|What makes this album a real keeper, though, is that if you dig a little deeper and get to the words hiding under the Slugs' peppy, poppy grooves, you'll find that the characters in singer/songwriter Doug Bennett's tunes are rarely as upbeat as the songs they inhabit. In fact, some of Bennett's narrators are cynical, sleazy misanthropes right out of Randy Newman (particularly the failed lotharios of "Operator" and "Take It or Leave It"), giving Music for the Hard of Thinking an unexpected depth that grows upon repeated listenings.}}Chart performanceThe album debuted at #86 on the Canadian RPM charts for the week of February 12, 1983.[5] The recording reached its highest position at #22 for the weeks of April 2 and 9, 1983[6][7] and stayed in the top 100 albums chart for a total of 30 weeks.[8] The album was ranked at #90 by RPM for the year 1983 on their RPM Year-End chart.[9] Track listing{{Track listing| headline = Side one | collapsed = no | title1 = If You Don't Come | writer1 = Bennett | length1 = 4:00 | title2 = No No No (Nobody But Me) |writer2 = Rudolph Isley, Ronald Isley, O'Kelly Isley | length2 = 3:18 | title3 = Making It Work |writer3 = Bennett | length3 = 3:27 | title4 = Take It or Leave It |writer4 = Bennett | length4 = 3:10 | title5 = St. Laurent Summer |writer5 = Bennett | length5 = 4:30 }}{{Track listing | headline = Side two | collapsed = no | total_length = {{Duration|m=34|s=58}} | title6 = Who Knows How To Make Love Stay |writer6 = Jon Carroll, Bill Danoff | length6 = 4:00 | title7 = Operator |writer7 = Bennett | length7 = 3:01 | title8 = Cover of Love |writer8 = Bennett | length8 = 3:10 | title9 = When the Doorbell Rings |writer9 = Bennett | length9 = 3:22 | title10 = She's Looking At Me |writer10 = Bennett | length10 = 3:00 }} Personnel
