Ultimately, a version of the song was not released until Dick's Picks Volume 15 , in When it was released, Go to Heaven generally received average to negative responses from critics. Though it was something of a return to the band's roots and had "more-punchy rock sounds", [17] it was still a mainstream attempt and was seen as "mushy" in many reviews. Mydland's vocals resembled Michael McDonald to some critics who compared his California soft rock influence to the direction taken by the Doobie Brothers.
However, the criticism has softened and Go to Heaven is now regarded as an important album in the band's catalog. As noted by a retrospective review in Allmusic , "Time has somewhat mellowed the general disdain that critics and Deadheads alike leveled at Go to Heaven ". DeMatteis 's review in Rolling Stone summarized the album as "more of the same uninspired fluff that's become the Grateful Dead's recorded stock in trade", though he also acclaimed Brent Mydland's contributions.

One of my favorite versions of that song, and it seques perfectly into "Lost Sailor. A fine soundboard exists of the above sequence, worth checking out. One of the highlights of the famous Warfield '80 run.
Meh I agree with both David and Anna: great hooks but overplayed. These both can really be enjoyable songs, especially when paired together with a good transition and the crowd starts jumping on "go for it for sure.
I have to think that a reason for them getting old fast may be that the lyrics have all the Dead themes and motifs, as David says, but they don't go anywhere. And it's kind of sloppy: you lash the person not the mast, and why is the helm "swinging to and fro? I think the two songs shouldn't be linked, because they're different settings.
