Speaking of the song, Money told The Pantagraph in 1992: "[It's] a beautiful, beautiful ballad - and it says something about the ecology. But I don't like to spend an entire song or album, like Sting, trying to save the rain forests. I'm into it, but I've already fought my battles back in the '60s and '70s."[4]

Reception

edit

Upon release, Larry Flick of Billboard described the song as "a guitar-framed power ballad". He added: "[Money's] well-worn voice adds a distinctive and familiar flavor to an otherwise formulaic tune".[5] Dave Sholin of the Gavin Report commented: "[Money's] raw emotion goes hand-in-hand with this tender melody boosted even more thanks to an awesome acoustic version".[6] In a review of Right Here, Chuck Eddy of LA Weekly considered the song a "bombastic beaut of a starting-over croon".[7]
