Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "Having eradicated its synth stylings, ZZ Top churns out a sharp rocker that shows no trace of the band's poppier side. There is, however, plenty of studio sheen to further hone this cut's edge. Already scoring at album rock, it'll work its way toward crossover success."[2] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "Guitars buzz like an old prop plane. Ah, the Texan rockers are in the air again with the first single off their Antenna CD. Watch out for the emergency landing on your desk."[3]
