It won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance, the band's fourth award in that category.[2]
The 2011 book Metallica: The Music and the Mayhem describes the song as "qualifying on all grounds, with lyrics full of festering resentment, and Hammett giving a lengthy solo."[3]
Loudwire ranked the song in 94th place in their ranking of every Metallica song, calling it "entirely forgettable" but "nothing particularly offensive."[1]
