Records issued Kwyet Kinks in the UK on . The release was the band's third UK EP and their second to feature entirely new material following the previous year's Kinksize Session. Critic Allen Evans reviewed the EP favourably in New Musical Express, writing that the band's softer sound proved as successful as their louder output. "A Well Respected Man" received regular airplay on UK radio stations, driving sales of Kwyet Kinks, which reached number one on both Record Retailer and Record Mirror magazines' EP charts. One of the year's best sellers, Kwyet Kinks sales exceeded what was typical for an EP at that time. Prompted by the release's unexpected success, Ray promised in interviews that the Kinks would release more EPs satirising unconventional trends and fashions, hoping that the format would prove an ideal medium in developing his songwriting. As Pye's focus remained on the more profitable singles market, the label cancelled all planned EPs of new Kinks material and instead recycled older material on subsequent releases. In the US, where EPs were comparatively uncommon, Reprise Records instead used the songs on Kwyet Kinks as the basis for the US-only LP Kinkdom, released on . In addition, the label issued "A Well Respected Man" as a single on 4November. Though the band were unable to promote the single's release, it reached number13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Reflecting on the situation decades later, Rogan characterises the decision by Pye to relegate "A Well Respected Man" to Kwyet Kinks rather than release it as a UK single as "[p]robably one of the greatest blunders in the Kinks' career".
