Critical reception

Markus Meyer of country music blog The Shotgun Seat praised the song for being enjoyable despite its lack of depth. "Is “Slow Rollin'” a masterpiece?" writes Meyer, "No, it really isn’t. But it is a very enjoyable summer song that makes you want to sing along with it... The guitar driven production is surprisingly restrained which is pleasant and Smith sounds fully invested." [3]
