AllMusic	[1]

In an interview published in Les Inrockuptibles in 1995, Morrissey stated "This song was the definitive expression of my change to adulthood, of my maturity. And, to be honest, I was very happy to be able to sing this text, to have reached this state. After this song I could perfectly retire: I've come full circle."[2]

Phoebe Bridgers named it to her list of five essential Morrissey songs, commenting, "This song best encapsulates Morrissey for me."[3]

Ned Raggett of AllMusic wrote "Morrissey's quiet purr at the start turns into one of his best, most soaring performances by the end."[1]
