Rob Caldwell of AllMusic wrote, "Wham Bam, a fairly weak slice of bubblegum pop, which was the hit from the album. Given to the band by Arista because the company didn't hear a single among the other tracks."
Unused B-Side edit
A Brent Mydland-penned track called "So Much for the Past" was recorded but was mysteriously left off of the final product, only appearing as a b-side to the "Memory" single. Since the band had already completed the album before their label gave them "Wham Bam", it's possible that the song was going to be included but was replaced by Rick Giles' track.
