Critical reception

ClassicRockHistory.com wrote: "I was completely blown away when I heard that country-esque introduction to “Hey Hey What Can I do.”" AllMusic reviewed the 2000 single version by Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes and said: "This single, however, is useless to all but a completist, as the only track is the LP version and there are no exciting extras at all."
