"Pirates", her second LP, received high marks from critics, going gold pretty quickly. "Rolling Stone" remained a fervent supporter of Jones, with a second cover feature in 1981; the magazine also included a glowing five-star review of "Pirates", which became a commercially successful follow-up, reaching No. 5 on the Billboard 200. The single "A Lucky Guy" became the only Billboard Hot 100 hit from the album, peaking at No. 64, but "Pirates (So Long Lonely Avenue)" and "Woody and Dutch on the Slow Train to Peking" became minor Top 40 hits on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. In America, "Woody and Dutch..." soundalikes appeared in advertisements for McDonald's, Dr. Pepper, and others.
