Taste of Country writers Billy Dukes and Cillea Houghton described the song as a "mid-tempo thinker" that "takes on a quieter tone as a somber Church thinks back on how he has learned lessons throughout his life." [2] Robert K. Oermann, writing for MusicRow , described the song as "Life lessons delivered with eloquence and expression. Craftsmanship and heart in every note, from the lyric to the brain-tickling production touches." [3]
