Reception
Billboard described the song's video as "trippy", and Ocasek as "possess[ing] the same vocal strength and sense of catchiness as he did on Cars hits like 'My Best Friend's Girl'."[2] NPR's Elizabeth Nelson called the song "an incandescent pop gem", praising the song's musical structure and "absolutely relentless sing-along chorus".[4] According to Rolling Stone reviewer Andy Greene, the video's "low-tech production fits well with [the] vintage nature of the song".[5]
