Reception
Smash Hits said, "Ironic that just when Jimmy Pursey and his mates decide to disband they come out with one of their strongest ever records. Good forthright songs that typify Pursey's own character, and the band have seldom sounded fitter."{{cite magazine| magazine= Smash Hits | title=Singles|author=Cliff White|issue=9|date=5 April 1979}}
