Nothing can touch Boston's debut album but this was as good as the tracks on it.

"Used to Bad News" was written by Delp, making it the only song on the album on which Scholz did not receive a writing credit. Emerson described "Used to Bad News" as "a charming, rather Beatles-like song".[10] Greil Marcus rated it as one of the three "masterpieces" on the album, along with the title track and "A Man I'll Never Be".[19][20] As with "It's Easy", Sendra considered the song to be more reflective than anything on the debut.[15][16] "Used to Bad News" is the only song on the album on which Goudreau is the sole lead guitarist.[13][8] Scholz played all the other instruments except drums.[13] It was released as the B-side of the "Feelin' Satisfied" single.
