Critical response


Jimmy Guterman of Rolling Stone magazine said of the song in his album review for True Colors, "...Lauper's trademark hiccuped syllables rest on a cushion of harmonies supplied by The Bangles and transform what is little more than a sophisticated rhythm track with nominal lyrics into a heartfelt declaration of fidelity."[2]

Cash Box called it "tough and tender" and praised the "punchy" guitars and rhythm track.[3] Billboard called it "solid rock" that's "neither wacky nor idiosyncratic."[4]
