The end of the video depicts Rzeznik walking down a road. PluggedIn said the 'stylish rock music video.subtly ties to the film without lazily lifting montages of animated scenes and dumping music on top—it’s an MTV-ready artistic creation in its own right.' Critical reception [ ] InsideTheMagic said the song 'dat[es] the film tremendously' as the 90's-style vocals are jarringly featured in the middle of the movie. The site added 'This one song is a far cry from the brilliant musical numbers featured in so many of Disney’s animated films'.

The BBC described it as one of two pop songs 'strangely detached from [the] workmanlike and inoffensive' soundtrack, and 'an attempt to extend the soundtrack's appeal to an older, rockier audience'. It described the song as 'sandpaper-voiced.heavy-rock, angsty teen anthem.updating the traditional pre-pubescent Disney hero'. DVDDizzy said 'It is a great song for the movie, but I found the music video boring and hardly worth watching again.' About.com described the song as a 'scorching ballad '.
