Its infectious melody and Ronstadt’s vibrant delivery made it a radio staple and concert favorite. Critics and audiences alike praised Ronstadt’s interpretation, appreciating her ability to inject new life into a classic while remaining true to its original spirit. Many commented on the energy and fun she brought to the song, making it a perfect showcase for her vocal prowess and charismatic stage presence.
