Critical reception


AllMusic editor Bryan Buss described the song as "tender" and "one of the best ballads they've recorded".[1] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that "given the song's title, you might expect a pop/rocker. However, Swedish duo goes in the opposite musical direction, opting for a twangy, quasi-psychedelic ballad. Frontwoman Marie Fredriksson has developed into an impressive singer, rising above a buzzing stew of sitars and strings with ease."[2] Music writer James Masterton said in his weekly UK chart commentary, "Roxette have made some gorgeous ballads in the past but this one drifts by without ever grabbing the attention and so seems destined to become one of their smaller hits."[3]

Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented that "sometimes the vocabulary used is a bit confusing. Despite the cartoon-esque words, the title track of the new CD is everything but an earth-shattering rocker. Forget it, it's a classy ballad!"[4] Alan Jones from Music Week rated it four out of five, adding that it "is one of Roxette's gentler songs, a slowly building ballad similar to some of Heart's hits. A grower rather than an instant hit, but likely to prove bigger than Sleeping In My Car."[5] A reviewer from People Magazine complimented Fredriksson's vocals on the song as "subtle and graceful".[6]


Music video


Irish filmmaker Michael Geoghegan, who would go on to direct a total of four music videos for the duo, directed the song's video, which was inspired by the work of Polish director Zbigniew Rybczyński, and consists of one continuous shot of Marie Fredriksson ascending a never-ending circular staircase.[7] Per Gessle commented that the video had to be recorded twice due to technical issues: "The first version turned out to have technical problems with the audio sync. We had to re-shoot the entire video! The director, Michael, and the insurance company almost had heart attacks. We had to start all over again. No big deal. We regarded [the first version] as a £250,000 rehearsal. Ah, the music biz in those days."[8]

The music video was published on YouTube in March 2009. It has amassed over 22 million views as of November 2022.[9]
