The song was used in commercials for Heinz Ketchup through the late 1970s into the 1980s.[6] Simon later stated: "I wasn't at all displeased with the results. It was well done, and funny."[7]Saturday Night Live used the song in a similar fashion for its mock commercial for "Swill Mineral Water."
Billboard called it "a blockbuster rock ballad that will spiral [Simon] her right up the chart."[8]Record World said it "is more 'up' than was 'That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be' and should do even better."[9]Cash Box called it "strong material."[10]AllMusic reviewer Joe Viglione said of the track, "In retrospect the song (and the album) are among Carly's finest." And concluded "'Anticipation' was more than a great melody and performance, it became a pivotal bridge and foundation for fifteen years of hits."
Stephen Davis, writing for Rolling Stone, stated: ""Anticipation" is a spirited examination of the tensions involved in a burgeoning romantic situation in which nobody has any idea of what's going on or what's going to happen." He continued "Carly's fine, aggressive vocal is complemented by Paul Glanz' lyrical piano comping, and drummer Andy Newmark's rhythms are to the point. The cut winds up with a surprising coda crescendo that pithily wraps up the premise of the message about anticipating things to come–Stay right here, 'cause these are the good old days."[11]
In addition, Simon's performance of the song in New York City at the 1971 Schaefer Music Festival was filmed for the ABC television special Good Vibrations from Central Park. Simon performed on the 2nd and 3rd of July. ABC broadcast its special on August 19, 1971. In 2009, video of Simon's performance was posted to the official Carly Simon YouTube channel, where, as of 2023, it is still available.[12]
