It hit number No. 25 in the UK Singles Chart,[3] and No. 14 in the United States. It is notable for its use of echo and reverb made by an Echoplex. "Any Way You Want It" was performed on many US variety shows, such as The Ed Sullivan Show and Shindig!. As the song used many production techniques, it had to be lip synched on television performances.

Cash Box described it as "a 'pull-out-all-the-stops' powerhouse that the group pounds out in sales-dynamite fashion."[4]
