Reception

Allmusic called the song "lovely".[7] Rolling Stone opined that the song "extends its cute, lyrical conceit for too long and winds up taxing the listener's patience."[8] Cash Box reviewed the single quoting from McCartney's song "Silly Love Songs" and claiming that McCartney "does them better than anyone I’ve heard since the ’60s."[9] The song reached number 76 on the Eurochart Hot 100.
