Chart positions "Crucify" reached #15 on the UK charts, which caused Little Earthquakes to re-enter the album charts there. In addition, "Crucify" hit #22 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in the United States. This, despite Amos's claims of censorship: - "I've been in the alternative stations because they won’t play my lyrics. The whole Bible-belt banned me for 'Crucify' because they thought I was being sacrilegous. They felt that it was detrimental material for their children and that it was blasphemous." [Hollywood Report - September 10, 1992]

Music video
 The "Crucify" video, directed by Cindy Palmano (photographer and video director) and Atlantic Records, was released in 1992 as well. It was shot using the radio edit of "Crucify" that can be found on the EP and singles, but the version used on Tori's 2006 "Fade To Red" 2DVD set is an edited version of the remastered track that is found on the compilation Tales Of A Librarian. It includes images of Tori at the piano shot using overhead cameras, twin Toris who sing together at a counter, clothing "reminiscent of Anne Boleyn"[2], and shots of Tori climbing into a bathtub fully dressed, then dancing in the wet dress.

Cindy Palmano has said that Atlantic Records finished the video because "I took it to a certain stage and then the record company wanted to edit it in a different way." Yet she approves of the bathtub sequence: "I like when she steps into the bath and comes out of the bath. It all looks really Hitchcock, I love it."[4] (Palmano also directed the videos Silent All These Years, Winter, China and Pretty Good Year, this last one from Amos' second album, Under the Pink.)
