The song takes a more pop approach than the band's previous songs. Reception Billboard said that it's "synth-based and relatively mellow." Cash Box called it a "classic-sounding McCartney composition which elicits memories of some of his strongest material with Wings" with a taut rock beat punctuated by an urgent horn section."
