Background
In a song review for AllMusic, Mark Deming commented on the lyrics: "In short, the song is about as prototypical as R&B gets, though Lee Dorsey's great vocal performance and Allen Toussaint's expert arrangement give their version a distinctive edge".[2]
Other artists have also adapted the song, including
Paul Butterfield Blues Band album East-West (1966), he commented "highlights came when the band pushed into new territory, such as the taut New Orleans proto-funk of 'Get Out of My Life, Woman'".[3]
