Critical reception

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song a four-star review, saying "Don’t trust that grapefruit-sized flower growing from RaeLynn‘s platinum blonde hair. This girl and her first single ‘Boyfriend’ are absolute country trouble with a capital “T.” But rarely has trouble sounded this much fun." [1]
