The song was released as a single the same year as his top 20 hit, "Taxi" and debut album, Heads & Tales. Cash Box described it as a "realistic look at city life."[1] Record World said to "look for this melodic self-penning to be covered often and well."[2] The song charted on the Billboard Hot 100, however it received more commercial success when it charted as a top 30 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary. The song has also been included on numerous posthumous compilation albums.[3] King Biscuit Flower Hour recorded a live performance of the song for the show.[3]
