Reception
A Cash Box Magazine "Newcomer Picks" singles reviews page dated July 31, 1971 states the following about the single: "First solo effort by Tom still reveals shades of the current Creedence sound. Driving rhythms should guarantee single its place on the pop charts."[1]
A Record World Picks of The Week singles reviews dated July 31, 1971 gives another view: "Brother Tom's first post-Creedence solo venture will really grow on listeners. Its message is a topical one. He wrote and plays with Merl Saunders and Bill Vitt."[2]
