Release and reception
The song was generally well received by music critics. Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr. of AllMusic called it one of the Outlaws' best songs, while the Associated Press called it a "rock anthem".{{cite news|url=http://www.boston.com/news/globe/obituaries/articles/2007/09/13/hughie_thomasson_55_was_outlaws_guitarist_and_founder/|title=Hughie Thomasson, 55; was Outlaws guitarist and founder|date=2007-09-13|agency=Associated Press|publisher=The Boston Globe|accessdate=2009-10-17}} However, not all reviews were positive. Marley Brant was confused as to why the song was released as a single in the first place, as he thought it was "slightly inconsequential".Brant 2002, p. 210.
