Aftermath
Music critic Stewart Mason of Allmusic described it as McCartney's homage to Buddy Holly, and Stephen Thomas Erlewine, also of Allmusic, described it as "a rollicking, winking sex song."
Although John Lennon was highly critical of many of the songs on Ram, feeling they were veiled attacks on him, he publicly admitted that he enjoyed this particular song quite a bit.
Little Joy often included a cover of the song in their setlist during the Little Joy tour.
