Reception

The track was reviewed by the Guardian as "solid, rather than earth shattering" but "a substantial improvement on its predecessor", referring to the single "All for One". They also observed it included common Stone Roses touchstones, such as references to Jesus, portions of the song reversed and guitar solos treated with wah-wah.[4] Neil McCormick described the song as "seven minutes of splendid shuffling psychedelic monster acid rock funk" in a review for The Daily Telegraph.[5]
