The single includes two Morrison compositions as the B-side; both have been included in the compilation album Still on Top - The Greatest Hits.

The Rolling Stone reviewer, David Fricke, said, "'Hey Mr. DJ' is a requiem for the one-on-one electricity of pre-Clear Channel radio, swinging with sweet brass and the iconic echo of Sam Cooke's 'Having a Party'."{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/album/88805/review/5940501/downtheroad|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071123204610/http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/album/88805/review/5940501/downtheroad|url-status=dead|archive-date=23 November 2007|author=Fricke, David|date=9 May 2002|title=Down the Road Rolling Stone review|publisher= |magazine=Rolling Stone|accessdate=9 November 2008}}
