Reception
The Canberra Times reviewer observed, "'Still Hanging 'Round' is not any different from anything else they have done none since they got bored with being boring. A song about a maudlin drunk, while not being anything new it is still enjoyable." While Phil of Tharunka felt, "[it] is one of the weaker tracks from the What's a Few Men? album, its view of love through the bottom of a beer glass still far exceeds ninety-five percent of the crap on radio."
