2 Also, alternate versions of every song on Infidels are in circulation as well. Some of these alternate takes were finally officially released in 2021 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 16: Springtime in New York 1980–1985. "Jokerman" "Sweetheart Like You" (alternate version 1) "Sweetheart Like You" (alternate version 2) "Sweetheart Like You" (Several rehearsals) "Neighborhood Bully" (alternate version) "License To Kill" (alternate version) "Man Of Peace" (alternate version) "Union Sundown" (alternate version 1) "Union Sundown" (alternate version 2) "I And I" (alternate version) "Don't Fall Apart On Me Tonight" (alternate version) Reception While Infidels was better received than its predecessor, Shot of Love, Graham Lock of New Musical Express still referred to Dylan as "culturally a spent force … a confused man trying to rekindle old fires."
