The song was the third single released from the album in the UK and charted at No. 45. It is notable for its 3D sleeve. The song was written around 1978-1979 during sessions for Face Value . [1]
It was eventually released to adult contemporary stations in the USA in 2004,from his Love Songs compilation album,reaching #5.
On its release,Simon Tebbutt of Record Mirror wrote,"if the last single led you to believe the bloke had any get up and go,this will assure that it has all got up and gone. This is a song for elderly gentlemen who sit in exclusive clubs sipping brandy and mithering on about the good old days of the Sixties and Seventies." [2] David Hepworth of Smash Hits expressed opposite opinion. He called song "marvellous". As per him "Phil Collins’steady improvement as a songwriter is highlighted here by the way he effectively welds three distinct musical sections into a piece that’s guaranteed the become a late night radio regular."
