On its release, Billboard listed the song as a recommended 'Pop' choice under their "Top Single Picks".[5]Cash Box listed the single as one of their "feature picks" during February 1982. They wrote: "Rea sounds a little more raspy-throated since the monster "Fool (If You Think It's Over)" in 1978 but his music still has that slick, thick production sound, like a pop blues."[6] In a review of Chris Rea, The Philadelphia Inquirer described the song as "especially appealing" on an album of "superbly structured songs, mostly in the ballad form".[7]
