It became an international hit, reaching the Top 5 in the UK and Canada and number 13 in Ireland. This is the first of two OMD songs written by McCluskey on the subject of the French saint Joan of Arc. The second, "Joan of Arc (Maid of Orleans)" was also issued as a single (renamed "Maid of Orleans (The Waltz Joan of Arc)" for its release). Both tracks feature on Architecture & Morality. ReceptionDave Thompson in AllMusic praised the track as a "revelation of a single" with a "gorgeous melody", adding that "the power of this song is almost equal to Joan's own".[1] Colleague Ned Raggett described it as "a towering heartbreaker, with Andy McCluskey and band in full flight".[2] Trouser Press called the song a "magnificent, ethereal hit".[3] B-sideThe B side to the single was a new track entitled "The Romance of the Telescope (Unfinished)", another new track but one which was not included on the original Architecture & Morality album. The song was however included on the successive Dazzle Ships album in 1983 without the "unfinished" caveat in the title, even though the arrangement and mix are practically identical to the first issue. The track labelled as the "unfinished" version was included on remastered re-issues of the Architecture & Morality album in 2003 and 2007. "The Romance of the Telescope" has also been performed live on several occasions since 1981 when it was usually played as a concert opener, although more recently as a final song on live set lists.[4] Track listings7" vinyl single
