Rolling Stone - The 100 Greatest Guitars Songs of All Time Όπως αναφέρεται σε άρθρο του περιοδικού: «There had never been a soul hit with as much heavy guitar as this or a heavy-metal hit with as much soul. Paul Jackson Jr. and Steve Lukather play the menacing riff, but Eddie Van Halen's speed-shred solo is the coup de grâce. Van Halen says producer Quincy Jones' only advice was go be yourself».
