 Engine 145 critic Matt C. gave the song a "thumbs up" rating.He called it a "delightfully acoustic barn-burner" and said "it’s arresting to hear what nearly qualifies as a bluegrass song performed by a strait-laced contemporary country singer", although he criticized Joey's "oddly phrased and somewhat colorless" lead vocals and Rory's "barely audible" backing vocals.A music video directed by Peter Zavadil was released to accompany the song.
