Critical reception

In a retrospective review, Jon Caramanica, writing for The New York Times , commented that the track “remains his best song. It’s a vicious self-flagellation in which he concedes that his woman has earned the right to torture him by flirting (or more) with another man, a punishment for his own misdeeds”. [6]

Music video

The official music video for the song was directed by Jeremy Rall. [7]
