Critical reception
editOn its release, Brenda Herrmann of the Chicago Tribune considered the video to "show the perfectionist performer at his best - simply giving one heck of a show". She praised the "extremely able backup band" but was critical of the "mundane lighting" and the director's "frequent focus" on Mindy Jostyn. Herrmann concluded: "Jackson's commitment to sparking sound production and his fine songs provide great video entertainment".[4]
