  IGN also highlighted the song when mentioning each of the bonus songs in the game.
  
  Rate Your Music gave the album 3.12 stars.
  
  Spin magazine labeled the song as the 38th best fictional song of all time.
  
     A stop-start groove and bouncing bass line better than any real turn-of-the-century modern-rock hit, fronted by the rare period frontman who never became overbearing in his verbosity. Don’t sleep on the backing Lords, though, who sum up goth-rock in one line better than the entire South Park episode on the subject.
