Giving it an "A", Tammy Ragusa of Country Weekly wrote that it was "truly interesting and incredibly good. Kellie maintains her classic country sensibilities and vocals and pairs them with a contemporary tune that doesn't push into the pop-country world."[1] Karlie Justus Marlowe of Engine 145 was less favorable, giving the single a "thumbs down". She called it "an entirely forgettable song" and "less a story and more of a character sketch", but praised the production, Pickler's vocals, and the "catchy chorus".[2]
