People seem to like it. I guess it's half because it's a safe, bland number that recalls earlier work - and half because they've probably heard very little of Prince in 15 years or so. If they had stuck Guitar or The 1 U Wanna C or any such similar pop tracks on radio it would've received a similar reception no doubt.

But that's what we've been saying as fans for years. Apparently it's true, even for unspectacular stuff.

I remember how disappointed I was when D&P (album) came out - that was mainstream effort right there, and a huge hit album. What 'hardcore' fans want and what 'mainstream' can digest are two entirely different things. It seems the mainstream like RnR Love Affair - it's easily digestable pop, no more, no less.
