The song did not enter the UK Singles Chart on release,[3] but peaked in Australia at number 97, becoming the group's only charting single in that territory.[4] A live recording from the 1979 album Strangers in the Night was released as a single and became the first top 40 hit for the band.[5] In 2010, a live version with Vinnie Moore was released in the Best of a Decade album.[6][7]

UFO and Schenker's subsequent band, the Michael Schenker Group, play "Doctor Doctor" live at almost all their concerts. It has been covered by several bands, most notably Iron Maiden, who have famously played the song over their PA as the intro to almost all their concerts since 2000.[8]
