An instrumental version of the theme was played over the closing credits of the series' first episode, " Broken Bow", but was not used again in the series. The song was re-recorded for the third and fourth seasons of Enterprise. The song was featured on the soundtrack to Enterprise and Watson's 2002 album, Encore. As he was a fan of Star Trek and as Warren had already written a song for his second album, he agreed to the proposal. Watson had been approached by the producers of Enterprise and the song's writer, Diane Warren. It was the first time that an actual vocal theme was used in a Star Trek series. It was poorly received by some Star Trek fans who created petitions and protested against the use of the song as a theme. It was also used on four occasions as wake-up calls on Space Shuttle missions, and was performed by Watson at the opening ceremony of the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

Russell Watson cover version "Where My Heart Will Take Me" The release of the single by Ashton was predicted by Brian Mansfield for USA Today as being the first of a career that would increase sales for the country music genre following Aston's previous success with Christian music. Tim Anderson, writing in his Country Beat column for Yakima Herald-Republic described Susan Ashton's "Faith of the Heart" as "a definite winner" but that it "did take a couple listens to really hook" him.

Susan Ashton cover version "Faith of the Heart" Chuck Taylor, reviewed the song for Billboard and said that it was one of Stewart's "more enjoyable performances in the last couple of years", and thought that the song could have just as easily been sung by Celine Dion or LeAnn Rimes. William Ruhlmann at the website Allmusic described "Faith of the Heart" as a power ballad which is "a standard effort for its genre". The performance of the single placed it in twentieth spot on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart for the year end 1999. The song was most successful in the Billboard Adult Contemporary within the United States, reaching third place in the chart. The song was released less than a month after Stewart's separation from his wife Rachel Hunter. The B-side of the release was the main title theme to the film.
