Reception
In his 1983 review of the Lawyers in Love album, Christopher Connelly calls the song "an outstanding bit of songcraft with a gutbucket bottom nicely set off by Craig Doerge's jaunty keyboard touches. Browne takes in the world of lovers with an appealing wistfulness."

Cash Box said that "the tale of love and sanctuary is familiar ground for Browne, but his willingness to get up and rock is another step forward."
