Critical reception

Markus Meyer of country music blog The Shotgun Seat praised "A Girl Like You" for subverting expectations and being a love song rather than a degrading lyric. He writes: ""A Girl Like You" isn't deep, but it is well-written and features some clever lines ... Combine that with the solid tempo change throughout ... , a catchy melody and a restrained production, and you have one very enjoyable package." [2] Shenieka Russell-Metcalf of Canadian country blog Top Country called "A Girl Like You" the kind of love song that "every lady wants to have written for her," noting that the song "has a great sound to it and it brings a smile to your face when you hear it." [3]

The video for "A Girl Like You", directed by Joel Stewart, premiered August 7, 2014 on Smith's official YouTube channel and features a live acoustic rendition of the song. [4] It is Smith's first music video not to be directed by Stephano Barberis.
