A HARD DAY'S NIGHT, front from left: Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, rear from left: George Harrison, John Lennon, 1964 Fans and critics react to The Beatles' new song, 'Now and Then' Ever since the release of "Now and Then," both fans and critics have shared a diverse range of opinions regarding the song. Some critics have been quick to label it as a somber ballad, while others have praised its emotional depth and lyrical richness. “The additions to a song that was obviously incomplete are seamless… unlike Free As A Bird , where McCartney’s new middle eight jarred slightly against Lennon’s original song – the arrangement is sumptuously tricked out with orchestration but never stoops to deploying obviously Beatles-y signifiers," The Guardian wrote in its review. “If you squint, you could just about imagine that it’s the Beatles playing together, which definitely wasn’t true of the mid-90s songs.” A HARD DAY'S NIGHT, The Beatles, 1964 On the other hand, Variety was full of praise for the new song. “The song’s beginning will be breathtaking for fans: It opens with a familiar Beatles count-in, followed by classic Lennon-esque piano chords and a strummed acoustic guitar, and then – that voice, pristine, singing ‘I know it’s true, it’s all because of you’, and following an unmistakably Lennon melody ; later in the song, McCartney pays tribute to Harrison by playing a brief slide guitar solo, and bolsters Lennon’s lead vocal in a couple of spots where it presumably faltered or was obscured on the demo," the news outlet wrote. “The song is similar to and on a par with Free As A Bird and Real Love, and it’s safe to say they’ve made it as good as it probably could be." https://www.youtube.com/watch?vOpxhh9Oh3rg
