Mono's success was largely centered in the United States, countered by their relative obscurity in the United Kingdom. When interviewed by "Rolling Stone" just prior to their first U.S. concert, the band remarked on the lack of a promotional campaign in the UK, and the relative longevity of charting records in the U.S. in comparison; still, "Life in Mono" failed to chart highly on either country's national singles chart, reaching #70 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 and #60 on the UK Singles Chart on its second release.
