Critical reception

Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song a favorable review, saying that "they blend southern rock, 70s AC pop and percussive singer/songwriter fare into a blender and sprinkle in fantastic harmony with country music lyrics to craft a song that truly showcases virtually everything that Zac Brown Band is in." [2] On the same site, Bobby Peacock rated it 4½ stars out of 5, praising the "refreshing, relaxing yet energetic arrangement" and "authentically Caribbean beat". [3] Giving it a "B", Jon Freeman of Country Weekly thought that the similarly-themed "Toes" and "Knee Deep" were superior songs, but that "Jump Right In" is "pleasant enough, featuring the band's perfect harmonies and exotic, loose-limbed rhythms." [4] A less favorable review came from Billy Dukes of Taste of Country, who gave the song two and a half stars out of five and said that "it’s a feel-good song, but one that’s maybe too familiar, especially to passive fans of the group who have only bought the occasional single or just enjoyed ZBB on the radio." [5]

Music video

The music video was directed by Cole Cassell and premiered in May 2013. It features American TV and Film actress Carmela Zumbado. [6]
