Commercial performance and singles

Kaleidoscope peaked at number 144 on the Billboard 200, and as of November 2006, it had sold 249,000 copies in the United States. The album fared better in Europe, where all three singles—"Caught Out There", "Good Stuff", and "Get Along with You"—were sizable hits. Kaleidoscope reached number 43 on the UK Albums Chart and was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), denoting shipments in excess of 100,000 copies in the United Kingdom.

After reaching number 52 on the UK Singles Chart on imports alone, "Caught Out There" was given a proper release in the UK, eventually peaking at number four. "Good Stuff" also proved a modest hit, reaching number 19 on the UK chart. The third and final single from the album, "Get Along with You", was her first solo release to miss the top 40, reaching number 51.
