The chart commentry at the Dotmusic web site had the following to say about Jamiroquai's number 20 position for King For A Day... "A notable release this one as this is probably the closest Jamiroquai will ever come to a ballad. The single still has Jay Kay's trademark funk rhythm but the rest of the instrumentation is nothing more than a nagging piano riff and what sounds suspiciously like a string quartet. King For A Day is easily their most downtempo release to date but just manages to squeeze past the disappointing Number 22 peak of their last single Supersonic which charted back in September."
