Critical reception

Matt Bjorke of Roughstock reviewed the single favorably, saying that "The song may mentioned trucks and parties but it’s more about the roots and youthful lifestyle than trying to have a girl slide over on a bench seat or to get so washed out in party land that nothing else can be taken from the lyrics." [3]

Music video

The music video premiered in August 2013 on Hunt's independent YouTube channel. The music video features Hunt heading to Georgia to hang out with friends and family. [4]
