Critical reception
Spin said the song showed, "Walter Becker's influence begins to come through clearly, and China Crisis starts giving us a clearer idea what its naïve melodies are all about. All their idealism and questioning takes the form of a journey toward spiritual discovery."[3]
In Smash Hits, Dave Rimmer wrote, "China Crisis can be interesting when they try but here we find them plumbing the depths of cliche with the usual slow sax solo and useless words like, "A love incision, my inner-vison". A sad business."[4]
