Matt Bjorke of ''Roughstock'' gave the song a favorable review, saying that it "absolutely redeems him from the clumsy ditty that was '[[Something to Do with My Hands]]'" but "it could be a tough road ahead for Thomas Rhett if this interesting albeit done before lyric doesn't help break him out with radio."

Kevin John Coyne of ''Country Universe'' gave the song a B+ grade, writing that "Rhett’s slightly ragged vocal is charmingly innocent and sincere" and "the production does such a great job of not getting in the way of the song."
