It was their 21st single, as well as their seventh (and final) Top 40 appearance and their fourth Top 20 hit, charting at #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[3] The song takes a more pop approach than the band's previous songs.
ReceptionEdit
Billboard said that it's "synth-based and relatively mellow."[4]Cash Box called it a "classic-sounding McCartney composition which elicits memories of some of his strongest material with Wings" with a taut rock beat punctuated by an urgent horn section."[5]
