Critical reception
An uncredited article from the Toledo Blade said that "Go On" was "typical of Strait's style on many of his mid-tempo songs[…]and the lyrics give a clever but mature view about life going on in the wake of a broken heart."[3] Greg Crawford, in an article from the Orlando Sentinel, said that Strait "push[es] the rarely heard upper limits of his vocal range,"[4] and an uncredited Hartford Courant review wrote that the song had a "breezy chorus hook."[5] Chuck Taylor in his review of the single for Billboard Magazine said that the song has a "conversational quality that almost makes listeners feel as if they are eavesdropping on a private discussion and privy to the beginnings of a blossoming new romance." He also said that Strait delivers the lyric effortlessly and that the song has a "lilting, inviting melody that is perfectly suited for summertime airwaves."[6]
