Cash Box said that the song "is a gritty and blues inflected effort" with "growling vocals and tale of drunken fun." [1] Billboard said that the "monarchs of metal growl and bluster at a lumbering pace." [2]

In most territories, the single's B-side was "Back in Business", but in Australia and New Zealand, "Hell or High Water" was featured.
