"Mind Games" was released on 29 October in America and 16 November in Britain, around the same time as Ono's "Feeling the Space". Apple Records issued the title track as a single, with the release dates matching those of the album in the US and UK. The single reached number 26 in the UK, and peaked at number 18 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in the US. The album charted at number 13 in the UK and peaked at number 9 on "Billboard"s Top LP's listings. Although "Mind Games" sold better than "Some Time in New York City", its release "came and went with barely a ripple", according to Beatles biographer Chris Ingham. Author Peter Doggett similarly writes that the album "did nothing to alter [Lennon's] status as the least commercially successful Beatle".
