Critical reception

Giving it a B+, Jon Freeman of Country Weekly wrote that "Kip's predominantly electric guitar-driven sound…is still intact, but this time the snare drum cracks like a pistol and there's a banjo plinky-plinking for possibly the first time ever in one of his songs. If there's a downside to this one, it's that the 2:16 run time cuts the tune short right as it's really hitting its stride."^[2]
