Reception

Critical

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country reviewed the single favorably, writing that "He could be talking to some beauty he’s met previously, but it’s more fun to imagine him swaggering up to a cutie at the bar. Beyond Ramsey’s cheeky open, the song is marked by tight phrasing, sneaky high harmonies and sharp lyrics. Every rhyme snaps into place with satisfaction. Credit the songwriters, but also give a nod to producer Shane McAnally for creating a fresh sound that fits this group’s personality." [2]
