of the best things about the Beatles' music is it makes you happy", and he deems it "a song whose joy is irresistible". Writing in Barry Miles's The Beatles Diary, Peter Doggett describes the track as "Simple, effective and stunning" and "the ideal complement to the darker Revolver songs". Less impressed, Bill Wyman of Vulture ranks "Good Day Sunshine" last in his list of the 213 Beatles songs. He views the title as "inane" and the piano playing as a McCartney parody, and concludes: "It's the worst song in the Beatles' classic period. And it ruins Revolver, otherwise the most consistent and mind-blowing collection of pop-rock songs ever conceived by man." Writing for Salon in 2016, Scott Timberg paired it with "Got to Get You into My Life" as examples of the less inspired songs on Revolver. He called them "musically derivative and emotionally forced" and, along with "Yellow Submarine", the three Revolver tracks that provide a welcome lightening of the album's austere mood but "tear its fabric a little bit".

The Tremeloes recorded "Good Day Sunshine" in 1966 soon after parting company with singer Brian Poole. Released as a single, it failed to become a hit. Beatles biographer Robert Rodriguez views this as surprising, given that McCartney's songs "Here, There and Everywhere", "Good Day Sunshine" and "Got to Get You into My Life" "were all the stuff from which hit singles are made", yet only the last of the three was immediately successful when covered by another artist. In 1967, a recording by Claudine Longet peaked at number 100 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and number 36 on Billboards Easy Listening chart. McCartney re-recorded "Good Day Sunshine" for the soundtrack to his 1984 film Give My Regards to Broad Street. Martin again played the piano solo but although Starr appeared in the film, he refused to contribute to McCartney's new versions of the Beatles' songs. McCartney has also included the song in the set list for his tours, starting with his 1989–90 world tour. A live version from this tour was issued as the B-side of his 1990 single "Birthday". "Good Day Sunshine" was used as the wake-up music on the Space
