Critical reception
Upon release David Giles of British magazine Music Week reviewed the single positively and wrote: "This single is a lot raunchier than their previous releases, with intrusions of loud guitar and clattering rhythm helping to enhance the distinctly bluesy vocal."
Music video
The video for the single was directed by Colin Chilvers, who also directed Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" video, and produced by Nick Verden in the south of France, in and around Nice.
