Upon its single release, Record World called it "an extraordinary reproduced and newly arranged version of this very funny song with a funky melody line and unique Newman vocalizing."[2]
According to a retrospective AllMusic review by Mark Deming, the song is a "potent mid-tempo rock tune" and a "witty and willfully perverse bit of erotic absurdity".[3] Newman later admitted the song was, "too low for me to sing it. I can't rock it too hard, which maybe I should have...or maybe not."[4]
