Reception

Billboard reviewed the song favourably, calling it "a killer slice of pop-injected angst". They went on to say that it is "as lyrically intelligent as it is sonically striking with its backgrounds".[https://books.google.com/books?id=fQ8EAAAAMBAJ&dq=moist+resurrection&pg=PA75 Billboard - June 28, 1997, page 75] Google Books
