"I Can't Explain" had in the US: whereas that was a top-hundred hit (peaking at 93), "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. It sold approximately eighty-eight thousand copies in the UK. Cash Box felt that the "middle instrumental section is a wow." The song was rarely played live for most of the Who's career past 1965, but since 1999 has become a staple for their live shows; it appears on the album Live at the Royal Albert Hall. It can also be found on BBC Sessions and The Kids Are Alright. B-sides When first released in the UK, "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" featured the B-side "Daddy Rolling Stone", a cover of blues-singer Otis Blackwell's debut B-side from 1953. Upon release in the US on 5 June 1965, it was replaced by a cover of the Garnet Mimms ballad "Anytime You Want Me". Both songs were included on the 2002 reissue of My Generation.
