Coinciding with the album's November 17 release date,an exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville,titled Mississippi Woman,Louisiana Man,was opened to celebrate the careers of both Hill and McGraw.[9]
Critical reception
Giving it three out of five stars,Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that "it's an album designed to be played on lazy Sunday afternoons,on long drives,and doing housework,a soundtrack to everyday life. As such,it can veer toward background music,but it's enlivened by the chemistry between McGraw and Hill."[10]

The Rest of Our Life debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200,and No. 1 on Top Country Albums,with 98,000 copies (104,000 album-equivalent units) sold in the first week.[11] The album has sold 231,300 copies in the United States as of October 2018.[12]
