It had been previously unreleased and was included in Chaka Khan's 1997 greatest hits album, 'Epiphany: The Best of Chaka Khan, Vol. 1'. The track went to #36 on the soul singles chart. On the US dance chart, "Never Miss the Water" was Chaka Khan's sixth number one, and was her last until she again reached the summit with "Disrespectful" in 2007. Critical receptionBritish magazine 'Music Week' complimented "Never Miss the Water" as a "strong" track. Ralph Tee from the magazine's 'RM' wrote, "It's not an 'I'm Every Woman' or 'Ain't Nobody', but vocally Chaka still puts virtually every one else to shame." ChartsCover versionsIn 2003, a cover version credited to Gerry DeVeaux, Shauna Jensen, Robyn Loau and Michal Nicolas was released in Australia as the official anthem for the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras.
