The album was issued by Smash Records in 1968 with catalogue number SRS 67107[5] (stereo edition). The original Smash label on the vinyl designates the name of the album as "Look Inside The Asylum Choir" by the Asylum Choir, although the album cover titling suggests that it is entitled simply "Look Inside." The original gatefold cover featured an image of a roll of toilet paper. The image created sufficient controversy that Smash records reissued the album with a cover featuring a portrait of Russell and Benno.[6]

Look Inside the Asylum Choir received positive reviews from critics in 1968, but sold poorly. Village Voice critic Robert Christgau wrote in 1970 after its re-release that it "more or less" deserved such a reception, deeming it "a nice record to write reviews about: strong studio work with a heavy Zappa flavor, quality of satire ditto".[4]

On May 2, 2011 Rev-Ola Records re-released the album on CD with four bonus tracks. On February 5, 2016 Smash Records re-released the album on CD in the original LP format.[7][8]
