In the UK Singles Chart, where the song was also Norman's only chart hit as a solo artist, the disc hit the listing on 11 November 1978 and peaked at number 41 with eight weeks in the chart.[3] It reached #11 on the Canada RPM Chart, but went to #1 on the Canada Adult Contemporary Chart.[4] It was Norman's first single as a solo artist.
