Reviewing the single,AllMusic wrote: "Yo La Tengo rework the song so thoroughly that it sounds like an original. [...] as a stylistic choice, it works beautifully, not least because when David Henry's cello line comes in towards the song's end, its unexpected beauty is all the sweeter because of the genial goofiness of the rest of the arrangement."[3]
