Cash Box described the Drifters' version as "a pulsating, thump-a-beat cha cha opus...that the boys knock out in their very commercial manner."[3]
The song was covered by The Gamblers in 1965.[4]
The song was covered by Dexys Midnight Runners in 1980[5] and appeared in their single "Keep It Part Two (Inferiority Part One)".
