Critical reception[]
On its release as a single, Steve Lamacq of New Musical Express considered "Clare" to be a "jazzier number" than "Perfect" and felt the song was released as a single "with good reason". He added, "It busks away and Eddi Reader's athletic vocals do an exotic dance with an eligible clarinet".[3]
