The song peaked at No. 128 in the UK.[2] It was the band's first single of new material since 1988. A music video was filmed to promote the single.[3] The DJ Dance Chart compiled exclusively for DJ Mag from a sample of over 500 British DJ returns ranked this single at No. 92.[4] Critical receptionPaul Fucito of AllMusic wrote: "The single "Designing Heaven" is as contemporary as anything Erasure, the Pet Shop Boys, or The Human League have done recently."[5] David Richards of the American magazine The Lexicon wrote: "Try to get by the first single, "Designing Heaven". Maybe one day it will be considered a classic like "Let Me Go" or "Penthouse and Pavement", but it's doubtful. The song lacks energy or a good melody, seemingly constructed without a real master plan. There is also a German CD single for "Designing Heaven" with mixes by Motiv8 and Georgio Moroder. None of the remixes set the song on fire, but seem serviceable enough for clubs."[6] Formats
