Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song a favorable review. Dukes called the song "a brilliant mix of old and new," writing that "this unique stylist is falling deeper into a niche Eldredge started cutting on the Bring You Back album, and the format is better for it."[5] Jason Scott of AXS gave the song three and a half stars out of five, saying that "from the electric guitar intro and the finger-snapping rhythm, the song is built on a solid foundation of pop varnish, buoyed by his more polished delivery."[6]
