At the 1981 Countdown Music Awards, the song won Best Australian Single.

Reception Junkee Media described it as, "a gonzo anti-break-up song with a melody line as big and gaudy as one of Jeff Koons' flower dogs, is a cartoon in and of itself. It’s the kind of thing you'd expect to see scribbled on the side of a wall, rather than playing on the radio. And that's its genius."
