Following its entry in the UK charts at number 31 James Masterton wrote in his weekly chart commentary at www.dotmusic.com the following:

Jay Kay has been quite happily telling anyone who will listen that he regards this latest single as one of the best songs he has ever written. Fine it is indeed, especially when heard in the totally acoustic version that he performed to stunning effect on CD:UK this weekend. Sadly it seems he would have been better putting the message across to people who haven't yet bought the album as the single misses the Top 30 altogether, the first Jamiroquai single to do so since Emergency On Planet Earth (the title track from the debut album) hit Number 32 in August 1993.

Because of the UK chart rules, a UK DVD single release can contain (if it is to be included in the charts) in addition to the main video for the single, no more than 2 minutes of additional video footage. This is why there is only 2 minutes of video from the Brit Awards on this release.

This is a region free PAL video format DVD.
