Cash Box said that "a galloping reggae backbeat and some exquisite Muscle Shoals guitar work back up Lennon’s spare lyric phrasing and lend the song a strong ride."[5]
"Too Late for Goodbyes" peaked at #1 on March 16, 1985 at the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart,[2] spending two weeks at the top of this chart. The music video for the song was directed by Sam Peckinpah,[6] and produced by Martin Lewis.[7] To date, it is the most successful song of Lennon's career.
This song was dedicated to Julian's late father[citation needed] John Lennon, who was killed in 1980, though Julian Lennon has stated that the song was not about his relationship with his father, but was instead about a woman.
