Release

Released on December 2, 1996, the song did not achieve commercial success, reaching number 60 on the UK Singles Chart,[2] and was played infrequently at concerts, despite the band having performed it on Later with Jools Holland.

In an overview of the band's career, Clash magazine said that, alongside "The 13th", "Gone!" has become known for dividing fans, describing them as "love/hate affairs", but noted they "still [show] a band happy to experiment and play with conventions."[3] Peter Parrish of Stylus Magazine described "Gone!" as containing an "um-pa-pa horn action and rinky-dink keyboards."[4]
