The single peaked at #15 in the UK charts on 26 March. [1] [2] [3] A video was produced, but was banned by the BBC and MTV due to brief nudity; an edited version was later provided for broadcast on Top of the Pops. [3]
The track also appears in live form on the CD version of Ultravox's 1983 in-concert album, Monument. The 12" version of "Visions in Blue" also contains an edited version of the same Monument performance of " Reap the Wild Wind". [3]
David Hepworth of Smash Hits reviewed the song negatively, saying it "sounded awfully dirge-like." [4]
The track has been covered by UK ebm/synthpop act Stok:holm and appears on their 2013 album City Lights.
