Critical reception

This single was retrospectively described by Ned Raggett in AllMusic as "[a] smart, lively cut...with the overall title and overall mood still being as classically Morrissey as it gets."[3] Raggett did not think the B-sides were as strong in comparison but still "fine enough numbers, further evidence as to how the Your Arsenal sessions had re-energized [Morrissey]."[3] Raggett concludes his review, writing, "The tone throughout is relaxed and fun, almost in spite of some of the lyrics".[3]
