Cash Box said "with a dynamite synthesizer-guitar-rhythm-vocal intro leading the way, Styx explodes with lightning-quick guitar work and a slick pace that breaks it all up" and praised the guitar solos and organ passage.[4] Record World said that "Guitar virtuosity melds with [Styx'] brilliant vocal harmonies, adding further excitement to their burgeoning career."[5]
