Critical response

Billboard called the single "pure pop joy."[1] Ed Masley of The Arizona Republic listed the song as the Gin Blossom's 15th-best song on his list of the band's top 30 tracks, writing that the song "certainly holds up as a pure pop song, from its yearning chorus, as a call and response between Wilson (who wrote the song with Valenzuela) and his bandmates, to a brilliantly constructed lead guitar break."[2]
