In its 1968 review of the LP, Rolling Stone called it a "Lovin' Spoonful type song with the Beach Boys touch".[3] That year, Rolling Stone editor Gene Sculatti said it "achieves a Miracles style smoothness via a Bobby Goldsboro-type song".[4] In 1979, Byron Preiss wrote that the song "epitomized the simple energy of the album".[5]
A live version was released on the album Live in London (1970).[6]
