the version of "David Watts" recorded by the Jam, "The Hard Way" by the Knack, and "I Go to Sleep," an unreleased track written by Ray Davies, which, like "Stop Your Sobbing," was covered by the Pretenders. Rolling Stone critic Ken Tucker calls the Pretenders' "Stop Your Sobbing" "ideal radio fare," describing it as having "Labour of Lust's feathery pop feel" and that "echoed to enhance Davies' wistful melancholy, Hynde sounded like a solo Mamas and the Papas, but her tone surged at the ends of choruses to imply enormous resentment at even having to think about sobbing." Cash Box said that "Lowe's production captures the jangling guitars perfectly and Chrissie Hynde's vocals are confident yet sensual." Record World called it a "a contagious rocker that's...powerful pop." Other versions "Stop Your Sobbing" was the B-side of the single "Love Was on Your Mind" with the Swedish group Ola & the Janglers in 1966 (Gazell Records C-175). "Stop Your Sobbin was released as a bonus live track on the Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson album Break Up in 2009.
