Critical reception
editKip Kirby of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that the tune "lives up to his own imagery" even though he didn't write it. He goes on to say that the "clean, easy-tempo arrangement leaves proper space for hearing the singer's thoughtful comparison of a woman to astral attractions."[2]
