Chuck Taylor, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably calling it a "less traditional, rather summery feel than many of his previous outings." and that Montgomery's vocals have a "more intimate and conversational quality that's extremely effective on this lilting number."[1]
Like his previous video "I Miss You a Little", this music video was directed by Lou Chanatry.
