The single reached #13 on the UK singles chart. The music video was shot in Spain. The song was praised by David Sinclair of Q magazine as part of a five-star album review given to Street Fighting Years. Sinclair wrote: "The utterly beguiling melody of 'This Is Your Land', featuring a deadpan Lou Reed, cloaks a stinging rebuke on the issue of the environment while gently leading the listener up towards the panoramic splendour of the instrumental coda."
