[1] Five singles were released from the album, initially to little success.

The first two—"She Said" and "Jesus Christ"—both failed to crack the UK Top 40, both stalling at 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.
