Reception
In his 1983 review of the Lawyers in Love album, Christopher Connelly calls the song "an outstanding bit of songcraft with a gutbucket bottom nicely set off by Craig Doerge's jaunty keyboard touches. Browne takes in the world of lovers with an appealing wistfulness."[5]
Cash Box said that "the tale of love and sanctuary is familiar ground for Browne, but his willingness to get up and rock is another step forward."[6]
