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]

The song's accompanying music video depicts Church performing the song in prison, through a disassembled guitar smuggled into the prison by his daughter. [7] The storyline continues from the video of the preceding single "Desperate Man", which featured Church and his band stealing the album from his record company. Reid Long directed the video. [8]
