Cash Box noted that "a razored guitar bridge highlights and counterbalances some laidback vocals with the overall sound layered and dimensional." Record World said that it "pieces together bits of the L.A. r&r experience while stranded outside of Radio City Music Hall."
Michael McDonald's vocals on the song are some of his first for the band; he would continue to perform background vocals for the band in recordings until 1980. The song also appears on the compilation albums A Decade of Steely Dan and Citizen Steely Dan.
