"Eat the Music" also appears on the UK "And So Is Love" CD single, in the same version as on the 12-inch single featured on the US CD and cassingle. Additionally, there is a third version, the so-called "Extended Mix" which appears on the European and Australian singles, and which is in reality 12 seconds shorter than the LP mix.
Critical reception
Upon its release as a single, Andrew Hirst of the Huddersfield Daily Examiner wrote, "Faintly foreboding, eerily ethereal, always arty. That's our Kate."[5] Alan Jones from Music Week named it Pick of the Week, adding, "Moodily unravelling, with assistance from occasionally flaring Eric Clapton guitar, this is a superior effort from Kate."[6]
