Reception
Not every territory wanted to release "One of Us" as the first single from The Visitors; the US instead opted for "When All Is Said And Done".
"When All Is Said and Done" was a modest success in the United States, peaking at No.27 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming ABBA's final Top 40 hit in that market. On Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, the song reached No.10 and was the group's eighth and final Top 10 hit. On Billboard's Dance/Disco chart, the song peaked at No.7. It debuted on the U.S. charts on 31 December 1981.
"When All Is Said and Done" peaked at No.4 on the Adult Contemporary Chart in Canada on 6 March 1982. The song spent 9 weeks on the Adult Contemporary Chart.
"When All is Said and Done" was also released in Australia, coupled with "Soldiers", another song from The Visitors. It peaked at number 81.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
