Walking in London peaked at number 18 on the Australian ARIA Charts.[3]
Critic Tom Demalon of AllMusic described the album as "a good record but not nearly as pleasing as its breakthrough predecessor" (1990's Bloodletting), but notes certain exceptional tracks: "Ghost of a Texas Ladies' Man", "Someday?", "Long Time Ago", and "the gorgeous ballad 'Les Cœurs Jumeaux'".[1] In The New Yorker, Elizabeth Wurtzel offered particular praise for the cover of James Brown's "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" and its "ironic interpretation that emphasizes the second half of the chorus – the part that says 'But it wouldn't mean nothing without a woman or a girl' – and turns Brown's misogyny into a feminist anthem."[4]
"Ghost of a Texas Ladies' Man" was released as a single.[1]
All songs written by Johnette Napolitano, except where noted.
