Critical reception

In his review of the EP, Matt Bjorke of Roughstock wrote, "Over-used theme? Maybe. But the song is still very strong." [1] Jonathan Keefe of Country Universe rated the song "F", criticizing its clichéd lyrics and objectification of women, also saying that "thanks to a dated, cheap-sounding production job and Rice’s limited vocal ability, 'Ready Set Roll' doesn’t even work as a throwaway, escapist single." [2]
