Critical reception
Upon its release as a single, Billboard said the song is "... an engaging and rhythmic tune that is easily the toughest-sounding track we’ve heard from [Cetera] in years. Song has a sing-along chorus that will sound quite nice on soft top 40 and AC stations."[2] Cetera received ASCAP honors for "Restless Heart" as a "most-performed song" in the society's 1994 pop awards.[4]

In popular culture
In 2010, Cetera and "Restless Heart" were featured in a television commercial for Heineken Premium Light beer in which an older man instructs a younger man that "if you love the ladies, by default you love Cetera."[18][19][20]
"Restless Heart" was part of the soundtrack of the 2022 Hulu horror movie, Fresh. Movie critics were struck by its ironic use during a particularly dark scene.[21][22][23][24]
