• Grabbing this for a review as I reviewed the main article anyway. Aoba47 (talk) 14:56, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

• In the lead’s first paragraph, I am not sure about the use of the transition “although” as it implies a contradiction, but the information about the song being inspired by Fanny Brice does not contradict that it is a new song. I would suggest cutting the “although” and add “with” and changing “come” to “coming” to read (with its origins coming from Fanny Brice”, the character that Streisand portrays in the aforementioned film.)

• Either add a reference for the “insistent” quote in the lead or paraphrase it.

• Where are you getting the information about the song’s popularity and recognition? You have a reference to the album’s liner notes (in the first line of the “Critical reception and legacy” section), so I just want to clarify this information as it is rather large claim.

I understand. I'm quoting the liner notes that read "The Kander and Ebb songs for Funny Lady show a remarkable range of styles. Best-known from the score is 'How Lucky Can You Get?'...". If you'd prefer, I can remove this. Thanks, Carbrera (talk) 00:15, 16 March 2017 (UTC).

• In the “Background and release” section, I would recommend putting the second paragraph directly after the first sentence. It seems more appropriate to add the writing and production credits before the information about the recording and release of the song.
