[1] Gerard Malanga and Victor Bockris, authors of Uptight: The Velvet Underground Story, described the song as a "rather pretty 4-line dissertation on the possibility that a girl might come".

He described the instrumentation as "delicate and in an acoustic manor" [sic] and said "it's something spectacular because the guitar is very delirious and the sparse drumming only adds to the beautiful atmosphere".

[12] Authors Scott Schinder and Andy Schwartz deemed the song "the album's lone melodic ballad" that "carried an uneasy undercurrent".

[13] Author Doyle Greene considered the track "a brief and relatively sedate song closest to the psychedelic folk leanings of the first album".

A version of the song was recorded by American rock band Nirvana in April 1990, during a session at Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, with Butch Vig.
