The music video received regular play on MTV and the single reached number 23 on the UK Singles Chart, spending 2 weeks in the top 40 in total. The video can also be found on YouTube and the Delays' official website.

In a 2006 review of "Valentine" the NME stated that the song was "arguably the best thing [Delays] have ever done" and was "one of those singles that makes you sit up and take notice". The lyrics were inspired by Hurricane Katrina.
