Renditions by Eddie Fisher, Wayne Newton, and Mantovani charted concurrently late in 1966 in the U.S., with Fisher's doing best, reaching number 45 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.[2] His and Newton's versions also charted on the Easy Listening chart, with Fisher's rendition reaching number two. His record also became a moderate hit in Canada. It was arranged by Nelson Riddle.
In early 1967, "Games That Lovers Play" became a hit for Donald Peers in the United Kingdom and for Connie Francis in South Africa, where it reached the Top 20. Her B-side, "Spanish Nights and You," became a pop (#99) and Easy Listening (#15) hit in the United States.
