Songen blev en kommerciel succes og toppede hitlisterne i Canada, FInland og USA.^[5] Den nåede tredjepladsen på UK singles chart. Den blev certificeret guld af Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on March 24, 1972.^[6] Sangen blev hurtigt tilføjet til gruppens debutalbum, America (oprindeligt udgivet i januar 1972).
