After debuting at number 86 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in November 1987,[4] "Could've Been" quickly rose up the chart and spent two weeks at number one in February, becoming Tiffany's second consecutive number-one hit following "I Think We're Alone Now". The song was also a number-one hit on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, as well as in Ireland and Canada. The song reached the top 10 in Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, and the United Kingdom and also charted well in Belgium, the Netherlands, and South Africa.
John Aizlewood from Number One declared the song as "mighty", noting how "she croons and how she moves the emotions like a large cheque."[3]
For the music video, music video stations played a live version of "Could've Been" where fans sang along to Tiffany's performance.
