The single was released in January 1986, and reached number 7 in the UK in early February. Despite the success of the single, the masked nature of the Phantom character (particularly in the music video) meant that Harley did not gain instant recognition for his role. He commented to the "Daily Star" in February 1986: "It's crazy. Here I am back in the charts and not even my nearest and dearest know it's me. But, in a way, I like my face not being seen. It's great to have fame and anonymity at the same time."
