Critical reception
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song three and a half stars out of five, writing that "the song benefits from an inherited familiarity […], allowing one to enjoy it more easily after just one listen."[2] 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."[3] 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."[4]
