Beloved for its high-energy and guitar and percussion virtuoso, it ranked at #13 in the 2012 Rolling Stone reader's poll of the best Smashing Pumpkins songs and at #54 in Guitar World's list of the 100 greatest guitar solos of all time, while Jimmy Chamberlin's drum performance ranked among the greatest of all time by Stylus magazine. A live performance of the song also appears on the band's official Greatest Hits Video Collection.
