It garnered positive reviews from music critics. "When I've Been Drinkin'" peaked at numbers 36 and 38 on both the Billboard Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts respectively. The song was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting sales of over 500,000 units in the United States.
Taste of Country reviewed the song favorably, saying that "With 'When I've Been Drinking,' Jon Pardi eases off the throttle. His previous singles were country-guitar laced anthems, but this new track is more reliant on a slow groove that builds through the final chorus." [1] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock also gave the song a favorable review, saying that "The uniquely talented singer/songwriter (he wrote 10 of the 11 tracks on Write You A Song) brings his California Country swagger to "When I've Been Drinkin'" and showcases why fans have begun to gravitate to his modern brand of honky tonk music. The melody to this single is as strong as Pardi's instantly identifiable voice on the track, which has refreshingly honest lyrics." [2] In 2017, Billboard contributor Chuck Dauphin put "When I've Been Drinkin'" at number four on his top 10 list of Pardi's best songs. [3]
