Disquisitional reception [edit]

Larry Moving-picture show from Billboard wrote, "Hot on the heels of 'Walkin' On The Sun' comes a wonderfully festive, anthemic rendition of War'southward popular/R&B chestnut. The song's original funk-flavored arrangement proves perfectly accessible to Boom mouth's popular/ska style. The heartfelt 'let'south go along' tone of the lyrics remains as relevant as ever to today's social and political climate, and the band's rousing arroyo makes the message all the more user-friendly to the popular masses. Another sure-fire multi-format hitting from the album Fush Yu Mang."[xiv]
