It spent 12 weeks on the chart overall.[ Billboard.com] It also reached #30 on the Mainstream Rock chart.[http://allmusic.com/artist/journey-p4643/charts-awards/billboard-singles All-Music.com]
'Cash Box' said the song "manages to walk the tightrope between AOR and pop" and praised the guitar solo and the "near-perfect fade-out."
The song appeared in the 1983 film 'Risky Business', starring Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay.[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1880493/ IMDB.com]
It was the first Journey track to feature bass guitarist Randy Jackson, who would join the band for their following album 'Raised on Radio' and its tour and would rejoin the group in 2020.
