Critical reception

"Horns are the dominating instruments on this jiving song, and they're played with a lot of emotion. A bit of improvement could be made in the breaks between the horn "riffs" - instead of one or two guitar notes being played, brief, rapid licks would be better, in my opinion. Still, a great listen." -Matt Loewen

"A well crafted song with a striking horn riff. I kind of wish John would do a longer and more varied guitar solo here. However, this is still one of my favorite songs on the album." -Glenn J. Wiener

Fans' views

"Tämä vähemmälle huomiolle jäänyt hieno biisi starttaa erittäin vahvasti loistavasti sovitetuilla puhaltimilla, jotka ovat keskeisessä roolissa ja niita jääkin kaipaamaan äijän myöhemmässä tuotannossa."

"Borderline disco. Similar to You Got the Magic in beat."

"Here is John's voice at the best I ever had heard."
