"Krafty" was released on 7 March 2005 in Australia and the United Kingdom with several remixes of the song on the B-side, and the song was released to US radio on 14 March 2005. The track reached number 26 in Ireland, number eight in the UK, and number four in Spain. In July 2005, it reached number two on the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
Critical reception
Reviews for the song were mixed; Pitchfork Media rated it 3/5, stating "This is a tough call to make, because New Order are often at their best when they're impossibly aloof, but there's a fine line between effortless and tuneless, and "Krafty" isn't the former." When reviewed on the BBC Radio show "Roundtable", one reviewer rated it 5/10, another 6/10 and yet another 7/10.
Music video
The music video, directed by Johan Renck, who also directed the video for "Crystal", appears to be set in Sweden and depicts two teenage lovers. The video has been noted for its close resemblance to the video Renck made for Kent's song "Kärleken Väntar".[citation needed]
