The video was banned by MTV in the United States, but was eventually shown in unedited form on MTV2 in a presentation of the "20 Most Controversial Music Videos". The music video was placed sixth on the "20 Of The Most Controversial Music Videos Ever" list by "NME", which described it as "scarier than her dead swan dress or when she punched that photographer". It was also included on the list by "Rolling Stone", "The 15 Most NSFW Music Videos of All Time", and was considered by "Slant" the sixth best music video by Björk. The dress was shown in Björk's MoMA retrospective in 2015. It was sold as part of Kerry Taylor Auctions "Passion for Fashion" sale in London, in June 2016.
