Although not a hit in America, "Don't Talk Dirty to Me" saw some commercial success in Europe. It was Stewart's biggest hit in Germany, peaking at #4,[2] and also reaching #14 in Switzerland.[3] Despite the success of the previous two singles from Say It Again, "Don't Talk Dirty to Me" failed to make the UK Top 40, peaking at #61, and lasting on the chart for three weeks.[4]

Unlike the previous Say It Again singles, no promotional video was filmed for the single. However, Stewart did perform the song on the German show Peters Pop Show,[5] Soul Train, as well as the American police drama Miami Vice.

The B-Side for the single "Places" was exclusive to the single, written by Stewart and Roy Carter.[6] It later appeared on the 2005 compilation Attention: A Tribute to Jermaine Stewart.[7] For the single, various remixes of "Don't Talk Dirty to Me" were released along with the CD single track "Get Lucky (New York Mix)" which is a remix of Stewart's previous single.
