I can see why some don't like BD because in some aspects it is a bit pedestrian. But I do feel that it's one of her catchiest songs of the post-RAL/pre-TISL period. And she does kick the vocal up a notch in the coda, which is nice.
One of the problems with BD is the song title itself, which sounded stale in 1994 and may have subconsciously conjured up images of the mid-70s, jeans-wearin' Fleetwood Mac, which was most certainly an unhip image in 1994. Not really fair to judge a song by its title, but I don't think releasing a song called "Blue Denim" was going to do much for Stevie's chart success at that time.
