Reviews
Jack Rabid of Allmusic called this single "ho-hum", saying it was "a poor choice to represent Maladjusted. He also criticized guitarists Boz Boorer and Alain Whyte, asking when Morrissey was going to part company with them, and declared the b-sides "Heir Apparent" and "I Can Have Both" to be the better songs but still lacking in comparison to previous b-sides "Whatever Happens, I Love You" and "Nobody Loves Us". Rabid concludes his review writing "Morrissey is a major talent with a special voice atrophying in undewhelming material and backing. To quote Joy Division, 'When will it end?'"

Famous quotes containing the word reviews:
“I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”
—Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
“Why do I do this every Sunday? Even the book reviews seem to be the same as last week’s. Different books—same reviews.”
—John Osborne (1929–1994)
“When the reviews are bad I tell my staff that they can join me as I cry all the way to the bank.”
—Wladziu Valentino Liberace (1919–1987)
