Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods covered "Who Do You Think You Are" in 1974. Their version became a hit in both the United States and Canada. It peaked at #15 on the U.S. BillboardHot 100[4] and #13 on Cash Box.[5] It was a bigger hit in Canada, where it reached #11.[6] It was also an Adult Contemporary hit in both nations.
Stewart Mason from
AllMusic felt that "Who Do You Think You Are" is "one of St. Etienne's most groove-oriented tunes."[13]Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "English modern-pop act delves into
Bo Donaldson & the Heywoods' pop evergreen with fanciful,
disco-minded results. Singer Debsey offers a soft, sugar-coated vocal with a pleasant, cushiony
house groove resting beneath." He added, "Far more interesting and effective than the group's previous releases."[14] In his weekly UK chart commentary,
James Masterton found that it's "a completely new track, a superbly crafted bit of pop which should be Top 10 if there is any justice in the world. We shall see."[15]Taylor Parkes from Melody Maker declared it as "tuppeny-ha' penny Seventies bubblegum dipped in class and delivered deadpan".[16]Damon Albarn and
Alex James of
Blur reviewed the song for Smash Hits, naming it Best New Single and giving it five out of five. Albarn said, "I like the idea of this. I think they are getting a lot better. I think this is their most complete song. I think the radio will almost certainly play this and it will easily be a Top 20 hit. It's wonderful shopping mall music. It's shopping mall music with attitude. That's what it is."[17]

A music video was produced to promote the single. It was later made available on
YouTube in May 2012.[18]
