Pan-European magazine Music & Media called it the "most rocking release so far", while noting the "occasional heavy guitar gives the song an extra dimension."[2] In a retrospective review of The Soul Cages for Ultimate Classic Rock, Anne Zaleski called it a "hulking dirge with an '80s AOR hangover, courtesy of Dominic Miller's sturdy electric guitar strokes, evocative sax from Branford Marsalis and organ from David Sancious".[5]
