A follow-up to the transatlantic Top Ten hit "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love", "Who Am I" peaked at No. 21 in the US in November 1966 and failed to chart in Clark's native UK, as did the follow-up US Top 20 single "Color My World". "Who Am I " was Clark's first post-"Downtown" single which did not chart in the UK. During this 1965–66 period, three US hits — "You'd Better Come Home", "Round Every Corner" and "A Sign Of The Times" — did not crack the UK Top 40. "Who Am I" was symptomatic of a run of singles that on the whole proved far more successful in the States. Clark broke the spell in early 1967 with the release of "This Is My Song" – a UK No. 1. In Australia "Who Am I" reached No. 42.
