I personally love it although I prefer the remix (a/k/a Alternate Version 1) over the LP version.

Worked out better for Stevie in the sense that it's a single she's still willing to perform today in concert.

Well, I wouldn't say it was a "commercial failure." The context is important here. Being the third single, it just wasn't being promoted as heavily as the first two songs. No. 60 isn't bad for a song without a video during the MTV age.
