Critical reception
In review of 5 January 1991 Paul Elliott of Sounds called this song "an inexorable, Olympian noise close to nine minutes of skeletal metal riffing, frosted with keys, Eldritch slurring about everything and nothing" and expressed an opinion that it "won't sound" on radio programmes of Dave Lee Travis. Live version of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" was described "heavy-handed, but no more so than Guns N' Roses."[3]
