Critical reception
Billboard described "Does It Make You Remember" as "a striking example of the use of harder rock textures in a ballad setting".[1] Cash Box favored "Does It Make You Remember" over its predecessor, "Voyeur", calling it a more "natural-feeling" follow-up to her hit "Bette Davis Eyes" in the previous year. They opined that Val Garay's production "allows the sadness in Carnes' rasp to predominate".[2]
