Critical reception
editIn his review of The Story Timothy Monger of AllMusic wrote that all three of the new songs were "of surprisingly good craftsmanship, showing that both the group and Horn are still capable of producing vital material."[2] In a 2015 concert review, John Reed of noise11.com wrote, "If not for the sad state of modern Top 40 radio, 'Steal' might have become a huge comeback single." He also described the song as "an outstanding soulful tune".[3]
