Mark Hertsgaard deems it a "lyrically muddled love call to Yoko" and lacking in melody, yet the combination of McCartney's high harmony singing and the inventiveness of Harrison's lead guitar part "made it seem more interesting than it actually was". Citing the lyrics, Peter Doggett says that Lennon was rightly dismissive of the song, while Chris Ingham calls it "riffily convoluted gobbledygook" with a "lugubrious chromatic approach" that Spector's editing wisely pared back.
