It reached a peak of number 23 on 6 January, equalling the peak of previous single "Mouthwash". The song spent total 10 weeks on the UK Singles Chart. Background and writing Nash stated in an interview on BBC Radio 1 that the title "Pumpkin Soup" was a working title she had saved on her computer when writing early versions of the song, and that her record company had originally intended to name it "I Just Want Your Kiss" after the main lyric in the song. Critical reception Pitchfork wrote "Pumpkin Soup is one of the few Made of Bricks tracks that finds Nash's acutely enunciated words complemented with just the right amount of swirling sonic accoutrements".
