, despite receiving many positive reviews and praise from critics and fans and despite the song's efforts for promotion through the new Toyota Auris advert, it received hardly any radio airplay and became the band's first single to fail to dent the UK Top 75, peaking at a disappointing #87. It was thought by many that "Join with Us" should have been the lead single taken from the album of the same name
or at least released earlier than it was; had this been the case, the single may have peaked much higher. As well as this, there was a problem concerning the number of copies produced which meant that it was difficult to get hold of, therefore having a further negative impact on the chart position. However, on a more positive note, the release of the single did boost the album of the same name back in the UK Top 40 in the UK Albums Chart
