 In a joint album review with Peter Jones for Record Mirror , Richard Green enthused about the song , saying : " Starts like a classical Indian recital ... This is great . So different . Play it again ! Best [ track ] so far . " Allen Evans of the NME lauded Harrison 's sitar playing as " stunning " and " tremendous " before concluding : " Fascinating mixture of minor melody with Indian accompaniment . One of the most striking tracks . " In his role as guest reviewer for Disc and Music Echo , Ray Davies of the Kinks also admired the performance and suggested that Harrison " must have quite a big influence on the group now " .
