Biographer Michael Lawrence said, "From very early on its lifetime, this song was touted as a possible single. A catchy ballad that sees acoustic guitar appearing in a Cold Chisel song for the first time since "Khe Sanh"."[1]
Before its release, industry figures such as Denis Handlin and Michael Gudinski felt the single would be very successful. However, Kevin Shirley, when mixing, said, "It's a straightforward song to mix and it would make a good b-side. It's not a single. It drags."[2]
