NME and Rolling Stone pointed out the song's emphatic guitar work based on "Jack Lawrence's grunting fuzz bass [and] Dean Fertita's abrasive skidding guitar".

[2] Spin said the guitar runs were "Sabbath-worthy", referring to the hard rock of Black Sabbath.

[4] Antiquiet observed that the song was unusual for the Dead Weather in that it felt like a solo piece featuring White.

[5] The song was featured briefly in the E4 comedy-drama television series Misfits in Episode 2, Season 2.

It also was played in the closing credits of the Showtime series United States of Tara, in Episode 3, Season 3.
