Billboard ranked it as the No. 23 song for 1976.[5] As part of the “Hot Tracks (EP)“ it also reached No. 15 in the UK in 1977.[6] Nazareth's version was an international hit, peaking at No. 1 in Canada, the Netherlands, Belgium, South Africa and Norway. The Nazareth single was so successful in Norway that it charted for 61 weeks on the Norwegian charts (VG-lista Top 10), including 14 weeks at No. 1, making it the top single of all time in that country.[7] A later recording by Nazareth, featuring the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, peaked at No. 89 in Germany. The lyrics of the song were changed for Nazareth's 1975 recording, where the original line “love is like a stove/it burns you when it's hot“ was changed to “love is like a flame/it burns you when it's hot“.
