Critical reception
Upon the release of the single, Alan Jones from Music Week wrote, "Another highly professional and typical Quo performance on a cheerful enough rocker. Certain to bring their fanbase out, but lacks the magic ingredient to attract others."{{cite magazine|first=Alan|last=Jones|url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1994/Music-Week-1994-10-15.pdf#page=18|title=Market Preview: Mainstream - Singles|magazine=Music Week|date=15 October 1994|page=18|access-date=16 June 2025}}
