Critical reception

Kevin John Coyne of 'Country Universe' rated Cold Beer Conversation a B+. [1] He states, the "new single captures the “take it as it comes” attitude toward life, but this time with somber resignation as the dominant feeling." "...things like realizing your parents are quickly aging or that your own youth isn't coming back around again." "Life passes by until it’s passed you by." [1]
