Reception
'Billboard' said "Gone, Gone, Gone" was "a solid rocking number paced by strong guitar work." 'Cash Box' described it as "guitar-based blues-rock" with a "crunching bass line" and Paul Rodgers' "smokey rock delivery." 'Allmusic' reviewer Mike DeGagne said that the song worked well for lead singer Rodgers. 'Democrat and Chronicle' critic Jack Garner described it as being "jazzy" and new direction for the band, highlighting its "interesting minor harmonies."
'Morning Call' critic Alan Jaresch said that the song "really isn't a bad song for getting down and playing rock 'n' roll animal. Jaresch highlighted the lyrics "My baby just walked out the door, she said this time's forever / It ain't the first time baby / Baby, it won't be the last / I better get the boys 'round and do some drinking fast" as being perfect for when you want to drown your misery in heavy partying after your girlfriend says she's leaving you.
