Robert Pruter in his book Chicago Soul describes "I Can't Hear You" as a "surprisingly weak [song] for Goffin-King that did not give the Vee Jay [Records] staff [musicians] much to work with" and dismisses Everett's single with its number 39 R&B chart (as reported in Cash Box magazine) as "essentially a non-hit.

'Sound of Motown' broadcast, with Martha and the Vandellas providing background vocals and a pre-recorded track by Motown's Funk Brothers, Springfield recorded "I Can't Hear You No More" in a 2 July 1965 session at Philips Studios in Marble Arch, with Philips owner Johnny Franz credited as producer (Springfield has stated she herself produced all her mid-1960s recordings).

The session, conducted by Ivor Raymonde and featuring Madeline Bell and Doris Troy on background vocals, is a rare instance of Springfield recording with her touring band the Echoes.

The musicians included Victor Feldman (percussion), Harvey Mason and Jeff Porcaro (drums), David Paich (keyboards), Ray Parker Jr. (guitar) and Tom Scott (saxophone).

The albums's credited background vocalists include Jim Gilstrap, Myrna Matthews, Lisa Freeman and Carolyn Willis.
