English pop music group Take That released a cover version as a single from their Greatest Hits compilation in February 1996 by RCA Records. This was the first single as a quartet, as Robbie Williams left the group the previous year.
The single was produced by the band with Chris Porter and went on to become what was to be the band's final UK number one until their 2006 comeback single "Patience" a decade later. The song stayed at number one in the UK charts for three weeks. The single sold 671,000 copies and has received a Platinum sales status certification in the UK. The song also topped the charts in Denmark, Israel, Ireland, Lithuania, and Spain.
In 2018, the band recorded an updated version of the song with Barry Gibb for their greatest hits remix album, Odyssey.
Critical reception
A reviewer from Music Week gave the song three out of five, adding, "This difficult-to-sing Bee Gees number lacks some oomph in this version, which is released as a preview for Take That's forthcoming greatest hits album. A hit, of course, but not one of their biggest."[56] Gerald Martinez from New Sunday Times said it sounds very much like the original. "But then most of their fans have probably not heard the Bee Gees' version. In any case it's a stylish ballad that deserves another hearing."[57] Gina Morris from Smash Hits gave it a top score of five out of five and named it Best New Single, writing, "...this is a fitting reminder of the good old times. An unplugged smoochy bongo-buoy disco record, originally recorded by the Bee Gees in the gruesome '70s for the movie Saturday Night Fever. Taken from their forthcoming Greatest Hits - Volume 1, it's a great choice of song — tampered with, but not totally destroyed."[58]
Music video
The accompanying music video for "How Deep Is Your Love" was directed by English photographer Nick Brandt and shot on February 7 and 8 at a deserted warehouse and by a reservoir in Hayes, Middlesex.[59] It was filmed six days before the band's break-up was announced and saw the remaining four Take That members tied to chairs in a basement.
An obsessive fan with blonde hair and heavy eye makeup who has presumingly kidnapped the band (actress and model Paula Hamilton)[59] walks into the basement and circles the four members individually pulling their hair. She then puts them all into her van and drives down the motorway. She stops by a reservoir and has the four members placed on the edge, she points at each member before grabbing Gary Barlow's rope and pushes him back, still holding on. Her fingers slip through the rope and he falls backwards into the reservoir, still tied to the chair. She initially looks shocked, but then smirks. MTV Europe cut some scenes of the video.
