The song peaked at No. 51 on the UK Singles Chart; the song failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. The single was the only single from the album not to chart on the Hot 100; their next single to chart there would be "When Smokey Sings" the following year.

The single version was re-recorded with drummer David Palmer after the release of the album. The re-recorded version is also known as the "Pacific Mix" on the 12 inch single release and has been referred to as "Ocean Blue '86" on the official ABC web site's discography pages.. The single version is the same as the "Pacific Mix" and is the version released on the ABC greatest hits collection "Absolutely". The "Atlantic Mix" from the 12 inch single A-side is a mostly instrumental "dub" remix.
