Cash Box said it has "power guitar chords, rhythmic changes, impassioned singing and strong chorus." Billboard said that "David Paich's knack for writing great hooks is evident in this uptempo rocker which features tatsy instrumentation and high vocals." Record World called it a "sterling effort" with "brisk chording and vocals."
