I love it. It's so Christine, actually. It's fun to sing and play on piano. A beautifully crafted song on paper, with dozens of little Christine signature riffs. I can't think of a hook-heavier Chris McVie song than this. Sure, the arrangement could have been more inventive, but in 1990 Fleetwood Mac was far from the compelling and creative orchestrator it had been. Hats off to Christine's lead vocal, too—confident and buoyant.
