No Depression called it a masterpiece of spontaneous deception: a wraithlike vocal, a lumbering bassline and strange electronic birdcalls set the mood, then Spence lurches into the guitar lick from Sunshine of Your Love. Analog Planet makes the same point, noting that the outro interpolates the riff.
Mudhoney covered it on More Oar. It also appeared on the compilations Psychodelia (1994) and Bobby Gillespie Presents Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down (2015).
