This track lyrically, is definitely among the most harsh of put-down and negativity to women among any Rolling Stones song, and therefore may drive a good share of listeners away from it.

However, the musicality of the track is very diverse, and hardly any other Rolling Stones song sounds like it. Accordion, Vibraphone, and Waltz tempo drive the song elegantly along, giving a very vintage feel to it.

Mick Jagger sites “http://www.timeisonourside.com/SOBackstreet.html” among older Stones songs he likes, and although it is also liked among deep fans, this song only appears on Flowers & Between the Buttons UK Version.
