Reception

Upon release, Billboard wrote: "John Hiatt's tale of a hard-to-get love gets a solid ride from the Desert Rose Band. An up-tempo and energetic rendering."[3] Cash Box considered the song "a winner of a tune". They added: "An instantly likeable song, it characterizes a girl who keeps herself out of reach from love's letdowns. Desert Rose's harmonies allow for chiming in all around."[4]

gollark: Or at least has 25% better density, I guess there are fixed costs.
gollark: This is very bad at sustained writes, but 25% cheaper to make.
gollark: Of course, a thing to fear is that most modern consumery disks (including that Barracuda, and WD Blues) use shingled magnetic recording.
gollark: Western Digital. They make HDDs.
