"Wait Until Tomorrow" is a song by the Jimi Hendrix Experience from their 1967 second album Axis: Bold as Love.
Written by Jimi Hendrix, the song details the scenario of a male protagonist addressing his female love with whom he plans to leave home, only to be shot dead by her father.
[4] In an AllMusic review, Matthew Greenwald described the progression and style of the song: A great bass and guitar duet is the core riff, and, as usual, Hendrix builds up to gentle and entertaining crescendos from there.
Matthew Greenwald of allmusic identifies the "playful song" as "one of the low-key highlights" of the album,[2] while Parke Puterbaugh of Rolling Stone describes it as a "taut, funky, could've-been-hit.
"[3] In reviewing the album for the BBC, Chris Jones summarised "Wait Until Tomorrow" as "a wry, funky little tale",[5] while Sputnikmusic reviewer "Broken Arrow" comments: The intro is light and quick, [with a] guitar part and a real heavy bass [line] that only consists of one note but really adds to the intro.
