In the United Kingdom, the song sold 710,000 copies and stayed at number one for 3 weeks. It was voted the best single of the year in The Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics poll, while also topping critics' polls from such media as Rolling Stone, Spin, and VH1, and was ranked as #20 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the 90s", as well as #98 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the Past 25 Years".
