The album was preceded by the single "Wizard Man", backed by Gary Brooker's instrumental "Backgammon" in the UK but paired with "Something Magic" in the United States. The single didn't chart in either the United Kingdom or the United States, and the album rose no higher than No. 146 on the U.S.
Billboard charts. In Canada, it reached No. 84. It debuted at No. 13 in
Denmark, before falling out of the Top 20.
Something Magic would remain the last album released by Procol Harum until 1991, when Gary Brooker reunited with Keith Reid, Robin Trower, and Matthew Fisher (drummer B.J. Wilson having died prior to the reunion) for
The Prodigal Stranger. ==2009 Salvo reissue==
