It peaked at No. 3 in Australia in July 1992 and spent 23 weeks in the ARIA top 40 chart, and was also successful internationally in numerous countries. The album spawned five singles, all of which charted on the ARIA charts, with its first two singles cracking the top ten. The second single and title track "Heaven Knows" also charted in many countries in Europe and Asia and won the APRA Award song of the year.
