Critical reception

Upon release, Peter Martin of Smash Hits described the song as "one of [Mercury's] propping-up-the-piano-in-the-smoky-bar routines".[7] Tim Parker of Number One commented: "Freddie Mercury tries his hand at a romantic George Michael ballad but ends up doing a Liberace. The king of camp should stick to high energy."[8] In a retrospective review of Mr. Bad Guy, Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic considered the song one of the album's "winners", "help[ing] make this an outstanding record from start to finish".[9]
