The song begins with a piano introduction. Clapton uses a wah wah pedal on the song. Author Marc Roberty describes the wah-wah solos as being "superlative." Roberty criticizes Steve Ferrone's drumming on the song for being too heavy handed. Allmusic critic Matthew Greenwald praises the song's "great guitar hook" and Clapton's "great vocal and guitar performances" on the song. However, Greenwald believes that the song's arrangement is overdone, particularly the "brassy synthesizers," and feels that the song dated quickly due to its pop music elements. From the CD liner notes on Pretending: "Jimmy Bralower - Drum Programming" Steve Ferrone is not listed as drummer on the song. (en)
