This One

Allmusic called the song "lovely". Rolling Stone opined that the song "extends its cute, lyrical conceit for too long and winds up taxing the listener's patience." Cash Box reviewed the single quoting from McCartney's song "Silly Love Songs" and claiming that McCartney "does them better than anyone I’ve heard since the ’60s." The song reached number 76 on the Eurochart Hot 100. == Track listings ==
