Upon its release as a single, Billboard said the song is "... an engaging and rhythmic tune that is easily the toughest-sounding track we’ve heard from [Cetera] in years. Song has a sing-along chorus that will sound quite nice on soft top 40 and AC stations." [2]

Cetera received ASCAP honors for "Restless Heart" as a "most-performed song" in the society's 1994 pop awards. [3]

The music video for the song was added to VH1 rotation in early August, 1992. [4]
