The music video was released in early 1994 and gained some MTV airplay, particularly on programs like 120 Minutes, but the song never charted.

It was reviewed on Beavis and Butt-head in a positive form, but the duo talked about how the video reminded them of Stewart's birthday party.

Pitchfork said, "Instead of gambling on the tidy production style that decided many a punk band's fate at the time, the Dischord expats drilled deeper into their fiery essence for the first single off their major label debut.
