The song was nominated at theBRIT Awards 2010 in the Best British single category.

Popular blogPopjustice made the single their Song of the Day on 30 December 2008, saying "Everyone loves Alesha Dixon. Most people are quite indifferent about purchasing her musical releases. As time goes by we probably have to accept this as fact, but songs like 'Breathe Slow' do offer some hope that she might 'hit the mark' and have a big proper hit one day."^[1]

Trash Lounge commented "It's nowhere near the same league as 'The Boy Does Nothing', but 'Breathe Slow' is still a pretty decent offering from its hit-and-miss parent album."

In the United Kingdom, "Breathe Slow" debuted at number 163 on theUK Singles Chart and entered the top 100 the following week at number 92. On 1 February 2009, the song rose into the top 10 at number six, climbed to number five the following week, and peaked at number three after being released physically on 9 February 2009. On theIrish Singles Chart, the single debuted at number 48 and peaked at number 18.

The video, directed by Max & Dania was shot entirely inblack and white, tells the story of Dixon breaking up with her husband, and her trying to regain composure and forget about it. She is seen entering a quiet café, upon leaving she takes off her coat revealing a show-girl outfit and leaves behind her wedding ring, then walks down a busyLas Vegas street. Meanwhile, Dixon is seen dancing alone in studio. The video ends with her entering the stage door of a show with anElvis impersonator and two other show-girls stood outside. The video, filmed on location in Las Vegas, clashed with theRicky Hatton vs. Paulie Malignaggi boxing match and caused shooting problems as many British Hatton supporters recognised Dixon, and subsequently crowds gathered in the street.^[2] The video has gained over 10 million hits onYouTube.^[3]
