The single includes two Morrison compositions as the B-side; both have been included in the compilation album Still on Top - The Greatest Hits.
The Rolling Stone reviewer, David Fricke, said, "'Hey Mr. DJ' is a requiem for the one-on-one electricity of pre-Clear Channel radio, swinging with sweet brass and the iconic echo of Sam Cooke's 'Having a Party'."[1]
