9.5 I love this song. Favorite song to put on as I'm going to bed as the sun comes up after a night of... having eaten a tiny piece of paper. Way back when I did that kind of thing, at least.
9. A grossly underrated track.

9.5 - an almost perfect song. Criminally underrated and great music video too!

very good one
9.5/10 beautiful poetic lyrics from Mick on this one, the guitar is crunchy, Charlie on point, and Brian adds some great sax work to top it off. It deserves more recognition, wish it had made an album.
One of their finest psychedelic-tinged tracks and a great companion to the iconic A-side.

8. It should have been on Satanic Majesty's

10. Would have been a hit for a lot of bands, Stones had so many good songs that many don’t know about and this is certainly one of them.

Extremely underrated
9. It's very dreamy sounding, Mick using a softer voice, musically very relaxing
Yeahhhh!! 'Dreamy' could not be a better fit. Makes ya feel 17 again.

A pet among pets. From first moments it welcomed me amid the crackle of my sweet just-opened More Hot Rocks vinyl.
