The Dixieland jazz style of "Walking in the Park with Eloise" deviates from the pop and rock stylings of much of McCartney's recordings. The song (along with its B-side) was later included in the Archive Collection reissue of Wings' 1975 album Venus and Mars in 2014.[2] Additionally, an orchestral version of the track, arranged by Carl Davis and performed by the Chamber Orchestra of London, was featured in the 2016 film Ethel & Ernest and included on its soundtrack.[3] This version was also included in The 7" Singles Box in 2022.
