Pictures for Pleasure combines Sexton's blues rock roots and the more commercially acceptable new wave genre. The album produced the Billboard Hot 100 #17 hit "Beat's So Lonely".
A poster reproducing the album cover appears on the wall of Ferris Bueller's bedroom in the 1986 John Hughes film Ferris Bueller's Day Off.[3] The song "Beat's So Lonely" was featured in the 1987 film Some Kind of Wonderful, which was written and produced by Hughes.
