On Dick Clark's "American Bandstand" on 26 February 1972, the song, which had just debuted on that date on the Hot 100, received a "lousy" average of 57.5, on a scale from 35 to 98, on the "Rate-a-Record" segment of the show. Nevertheless, the group performed the song on the 13 May 1972 edition of "American Bandstand".[6]
