It peaked at number 47 on the UK Singles Chart.
Critical reception Music Week wrote, "Irrespressibly bouncy with a sheen borrowed from PWL, it's actually a fairly decent song, but it tries a little too hard to steer a middle course between being a pop record and being a dance record, so could fail to realise its full potential. A tighter mix, geared in either direction, could do the trick." Simon Williams from NME said, "The synth-mungous likes of 'Once You've Tasted Love' and 'Promises' are amiably crass hi-NRG rompalongs, sort of Kajagoogoo gone Italian House."
Music video The music video for the song was shot on a low budget in a warehouse. The band is shown performing the song against a white backdrop.
