 The song received a "thumbs down" review from the country music site Engine 145.Reviewer Brady Vercher said, "The song avoids becoming a motivational sermon by having the narrator focus inward, upon himself, but all we learn is that he's trying to put the skeletons in his closet behind him and move on.Ultimately, without any sort of supporting story, the lyric is[…]generic enough to be applicable to nearly any situation."
