Reception

Upon release, Larry Flick of Billboard wrote: "Money has a good shot at reviving top 40 interest thanks to this mournful pop/rock ballad. His well-worn voice provides a wordly, affecting edge."[5] In a review of Right Here, Joe Konz of The Indianapolis Star wrote: "The album's nominal slow song, "I'll Get By", could almost be characterized as tender. Almost. "I'll Get By" is probably as good as [Money] gets when he's out of his league."[6] Dana Tofig of the Hartford Courant considered the song "an acceptable but predictable ballad".[7]
