Released at the peak of grunge, a genre Mudhoney had helped create, the band and Piece of Cake did not get any special notice, commercially or critically. However, Piece of Cake did sell over 150,000 copies on its initial release and "Spin" listed it at number 11 on its list of top 20 albums of 1992. It is the band's only album to chart on the Billboard 200, where it peaked at number 189.

Reprise reissued this album bundled with the E.P. Five Dollar Bob's Mock Cooter Stew and the B-Sides from the album singles in 2003 (a similar effort like Sub Pop's Superfuzz Bigmuff Deluxe re-issue in 2008 and Reprise's reissue of My Brother the Cow in 2003).
