Critical reception

Website Taste of Country reviewed the song favorably, saying that "The uptempo country-rocker leans more toward the middle than some of their previous party cuts, but it’s still stamped with this duo’s own unique brand mark" and "one could argue it’s been written before. But it’s a story worth reinventing time and again."[1]
