Critical reception
Larry Flick, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that it "neatly walks a line between polished modern rock and a clever turn at accessible adult top 40, charged up with grimacing guitars and a pace frantic enough to shake the perm loose from the intended audience's girlfriends."[1]
Music video
The music video is a very large teenage party that Sum 41 is hosting, where a lot of destruction is done to the house as the night goes on, including a car being driven into the house.[2] At one point rapper DMX makes a cameo appearance on an ATV.[3] The other video contains miscellaneous clips of them performing [4]
