Cash Box said that "raucous as ever, the track includes a matured guitar solo and is fused with a high rock ‘n’ roll energy."[5]
The track served as the opening song during the band's performances on the tour in support of Flick of the Switch, but has never been performed on any other AC/DC tours since.[citation needed] A promotional video was produced for the song, which featured drummer Simon Wright rather than Phil Rudd. Rudd had left the band during the recording of Flick of the Switch and was replaced by Wright before the start of the tour.
