Reception
The belated review by Tim Cooper of Eats, Drinks & Leaves on 25 June 2025 was positive with him referring to the record as an exuberant disco-funk anthem. Due to him listening to completely different music in 1981, it completely passed him by. He said that it was a dancefloor favorite and mentioned that the 12" version had a memorable sax solo by Jimmy Carter, not the former president.[3]
Airplay
"Grace" was at No. 97 on the Record Business Airplay Playlist chart. No other statistics could be given that week due to major production difficulties that the publication was experiencing.[4] The following week it was at No. 87 and on the A list of five stations, a Breaker / Climber at two stations, and an Extra at two stations.[5] For the week of 31 May, it was at No. 29 and on the A list of nine stations and a breaker / climber at four.[6]
