"Broken Heart (Thirteen Valleys)" reached number 47 in the UK Singles Chart and remained in the top 100 for four weeks.

[6][7] Upon its release as a single, Alex Kadis of Smash Hits commented, "Though at first this sounds shockingly like 'She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain', it soon takes a turn for the better and becomes one of those superbly atmospheric songs that Big Country have become so famous for.

"[8] Jim Whiteford of The Kilmarnock Standard praised it as "another powerful, atmospheric beat-ballad" from Big Country and added that the song "had me hooked [after] a couple of spins".

[9] Robin Smith of Record Mirror was critical in his review, commenting, "'Twas a time when I used to cock a leg to those stirring Gaelic airs, but now Big Country are so dull this bland muddy pop is pulling them under.
