Critical reception

Upon its release, Billboard described "We Should Be Sleeping" as "power pop" which "rocks to a foot-stomping beat with raw and gritty energy".[1] Cash Box noted that the combination of a "great hook", "memorable lyrics" and a "driving rock melody" made the song a "shoe-in for instant radio acceptance" and added, "Healthy AOR play earlier this year combined wiwth Money's recent top 40 chart successes should propel this one immediately."[2]
