Reception
editA Cash Box Magazine "Picks of The Week" singles reviews page dated June 5, 1976 states the following about the single: "A laid-back rock hymn to humanity, this is an intelligent single from Three Dog Night that will serve to broaden its already extensive audience. The instrumentation — particularly the organ fills — is lush, and the vocals are equal to the task. Look for this to show up strong on all pop radio outlets; it's really an affecting tune."[2]
A Record World "Single Picks" review page dated June 5, 1976 gives another view: "Three Dog Night's vocal prowess remains unquestioned with this, their first effort in some time. To back up its talent, the group has constructed a solid rhythmic pulse and is headed for pop/r&b play."[3]
