Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard magazine commented, "New song featured on upcoming greatest-hits collection, Simply the Best, is a swaggering rocker, replete with crunchy guitars and a muscular rhythm section. Tune and arrangement are a perfect match for Turner's signature growl."[1] A reviewer from Liverpool Echo wrote, "Tough stuff this time with heavy rock riffs matched with aggressive vocals. Not for the faint-hearted."[3]
