The first two—"She Said" and "Jesus Christ"—both failed to crack the UK Top 40, both stalling at No.

The third single, "Far", fared a little better, scraping into the Top 40, reaching No.

With this momentum the album was released in April, and shortly after, "She Said" was re-released, also making it to No.

The Sun Is Often Out was declared one of 1996's 50 best albums by Q and Melody Maker and retains a favourable 4-star rating on the AllMusic website, by both critics and fans.
