Review

Marshall Bowden of PopMatters said of the song in May 2004:

"Cowboys International are often credited with creating the blueprint for the New Romantic sound…Groups like ABC and Spandau Ballet tried very hard to create tracks like Cowboys' "Today", but they never achieved the kind of widescreen sound that the band does here, a perfectly realized balance between sweeping, romantic strings, broad washes of synthesizer color, and a rigid techno-beat.[3]

Release history

Today Today was released as a non-album track on 29 February 1980 (1980-02-29). 23 years later in 2003 it was added to the Cowboys International compilation album Revisited.
