Critical reception

In his book This Music Leaves Stains: The Complete Story of the Misfits, James Greene, Jr. writes that the song "owes much of its romantic drama to the touch of Roy Orbison but serves a swinging rock bravado all its own, finding a great middle ground between a vintage 1950s melodic approach with the weighty sensibilities of Black Sabbath."Шаблон:Sfn Maggie Serota of Pitchfork also compared Danzig's vocals to those of Orbison, writing that "It takes a real commitment to the bit to croon the line, 'When new creatures rape your face/Hybrids opened up the door,' [...] and make it sound like it was plucked from a Roy Orbison ballad rather than a deleted Simon and Hecubus sketch from The Kids in the Hall."[2]

Aaron Lariviere of Stereogum ranked the song #6 on his list of the 10 best Misfits songs, calling it "a roller coaster of melody that stops short and leaves you hanging, hungry for more."[3] An article by the staff of Far Out Magazine called the song a "classic track" and "a reminder of the power and prowess of a furious punk song".[4]
