I like it, but I do prefer the original. Less is more.

Rick, re:
>I like it, but I do prefer the original. Less is more.
Brian, being Brian, decided it had to have more guitar on it than was entirely necessary. I remember his Soapbox incredulity at the track not being on the Deluxe Edition - clearly, those compiling the set were able to see that indulging Maylor wouldn't do anything to further the legacy of Brian Wilson.
Wise men indeed.

I agree, although the song was written by Dennis Wilson ;)

The new track is far superior the original in my opinion. Great work by our boys!

After hearing it multiple times, I'm starting to really appreciate this version. The background vocals are amazing and I think Dennis would approve. On the Pacific Ocean Blue album he experimented a lot with vocal harmonies. I love Brian's guitar work, although it sounds as a 'quickie'. Roger's drumming is solid, as always. I have always loved Hawkins' vocals on this track.

Same here. I LOVE the original version and after 1st listenings of this new take I thought that Brian had really gone too far. Too many vocal harmonies, guitar solo too long etc etc... but now I´m getting used to it and start to like it a lot.
I guess I will always prefer the first version a little bit more. So subtle, so peaceful, and there´s something in the main vocals mix that I prefer too.
But now that I really appreciate the new additions to the song, I´m glad I´ll be able to enjoy both takes anytime.
