"Keep Yourself Alive" was largely ignored upon its release and failed to chart on either side of the Atlantic. In July 1975 the song was re-released in the US backed with "Lily of the Valley" and "God Save the Queen".[4]
In 2008, Rolling Stone rated the song 31st on its list of "The 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time".[5]
