In his 2012 book E Street Shuffle: The Glory Days Of Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Clinton Heylin wrote that I GOT MY EYES ON YOU "was considered good enough to be placed on a comp. reel alongside finished takes of 'The Way' and 'Prove It All Night' (where it clocks in at 3:45)." Heylin also reveals that a number of mixes for I GOT MY EYES ON YOU were done for Tracks project.
