==Critical reception==
In review of 5 January 1991 Paul Elliott of ''[Sounds](/source/Sounds_(magazine))'' called this song "an inexorable, Olympian noise close to nine minutes of skeletal metal riffing, frosted with keys, [Eldritch](/source/Andrew_Eldritch) slurring about everything and nothing" and expressed an opinion that it "won't sound" on radio programmes of [Dave Lee Travis](/source/Dave_Lee_Travis).
