Content
This song is very mello, much resembling jazz with a sparse arrangement of just piano, saxophone (played by Jim Horn), and drums. The lyrics of the song talk about how the narrator gets through the nights after his lover has left him. Several ways he copes includes talking to himself, listening to the radio, calling up friends in the middle of the night to let them know he's OK and staying up with the Late Show.
Critical reception
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that Brooks "leaves the honky-tonk behind and steps briefly into the cocktail lounge." She goes on to say that he adopts a "slick, un-country singing style for this broken-hearted lament[1]
