Less than 2,000 copies of the 7-inch single were pressed and the 12-inch single received a limited release of 2,000 copies. Allmusic writer Nitsuh Abebe described "Sunny Sundae Smile" as "pop melodies revved up by sheets and sheets of Jesus and Mary Chain-style guitar noise" and added that "somewhere in there, though, you can hear the beginnings of the lighter, more distinct sound that characterized Ecstasy and 'Strawberry Wine'."[1] Upon its release, "Sunny Sundae Smile" peaked at number 6 on the UK Independent Singles Chart.[2]

gollark: This may be harder on those old x86 tablets because they have a weird setup with 32-bit UEFI and 64-bit processors for some odd reason.
gollark: *Can* you do that without dying horribly? Supernovae are pretty energetic, and all.
