The 'single version' of the song, released for radio airplay, is a slightly edited version that is different from the version appearing on the Fleetwood Mac album. The single did not chart in Britain, with only the fourth single from the album, "Say You Love Me" managing to chart upon its original release.

PopMatters wrote that the song "lives up to its title and then some", adding that the music possessed a "wistful" quality.[2]
