The single was given four out of five stars by [[AllMusic]]'s Matt Whalley, who said that the song "could have been one of the Ramones' most popular tracks if it was not pulled from the album for legal reasons."<ref name="Allmusic single" /> Whalley called the B-side "I Can't Be" "simple", describing it as "in the same vein as 'Carbona Not Glue,' only shifting focus to relationships."<ref name="Allmusic single">{{cite web|last=Whalley|first=Matt|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/carbona-not-glue-i-cant-be-mw0000973015|title=Carbona Not Glue/I Can't Be – Ramones|publisher=AllMusic|access-date=2014-01-26}}</ref> After the album came out in February, the band began a four-week tour of the United States starting with Los Angeles. On February 4, the band played at the [[Nassau Coliseum]] with [[Blue Öyster Cult]], and played with [[Suicide (band)|Suicide]] the next day at [[CBGB]]. A week after this, the band played with Blue Öyster Cult again in Poughkeepsie, to which Johnny relates: "Those arena shows were a little better for us, although we would have more bad experiences in those big places. I never really enjoyed playing them." The band used their newly designed logo as a backdrop at concerts. They also had more advanced lighting techniques, but still only used white lights.<ref name="commando" /> In April 1977, the band left the United States to begin their tour of Europe. Ramones co-headlined with [[Talking Heads]], who were a [[new wave music|new wave]] band formed in 1975. During a [[Marseille]] gig, the Ramones caused a power outage to a quarter of the city during a sound check. The gig was cancelled when police arrived and dispersed the fans. When their tour manager arranged for a stop at [[Stonehenge]] in Wiltshire, Johnny refused to leave the bus, saying he refused to see "a bunch of old rocks".<ref>Ramone 2003, pp. 202–203.</ref> The band's Europe tour came to an end on June 6, 1977.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Owen|first=Ed|title=Hispavox Organizes Ramones' Spain Tour|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|volume=92|issue=44|date=1980-11-01|page=80}}</ref>
