The single entered the UK charts at No. 6 on 22 October 2006, giving Meat Loaf his highest position in the UK charts since "I'd Lie for You (And That's the Truth)" reached No. 2 in 1995, and as of 2021, this song remains his last UK Top 40 hit. The song also reached No. 1 in Raven's native Norway, as well as No. 7 in Germany. Critical reaction was generally positive, with "The Guardian" saying that the song is "ostensibly a reflection on love, but imbued with the delicacy of aircraft carriers colliding at sea".
