Critical reception edit
Larry Flick, Billboard's reviewer, named this track as "their most aggressive single in some time". He wrote: "Producer Michael Wagener tightly weaves together intricate guitar leads, rumbling rhythm chords, and a well-shaded vocal by Jani Lane. May be too hard for fans at top 40, though album rockers will herald what is clearly the band's strongest entry to date".[5]
