The first two singles from the album were "Déjà Vu" (July 2003), which peaked at No. 19, and "Song for a Sleepwalker" (October), which reached the top 40. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2003 SFK received four nominations: Album of the Year, Best Group, Best Rock Album and Best Cover Art (by Ashworth and Dave Horner) for "The Official Fiction". It was certified gold by the end of that year. On the Triple J Hottest 100, 2003, "Déjà Vu" was listed at No. 11 and "Song for a Sleepwalker" at No. 63; "Official Fiction" was listed at No. 6 on the Top 10 Albums of 2003. Ashworth described the group, "We're an album band not a singles band. We write albums and then the record company picks whatever they want to be the single. That's what's really difficult. So for you, you might get a very one-sided idea of what a band's like and then you put the album on and you go: 'Oh, I didn't realize they had this side.' That's where I think singles are a real fucker. I don't like it."
