Critical reception

The song received a favorable review from Taste of Country , which said that Moore "proves his sharp storytelling is the rule, not the exception." The review also stated that "Moore’s husky voice is comfortable with a love song, yet some sort of hurt or regret seems to soak into this interpretation." [3] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song four stars out of five, writing that "this story has been told before but it's told here in a new, interesting, and most importantly, very Kip Moore way." Bjorke called Moore's voice "as raspy and as inviting musically as ever," adding that "the production from Brett James is as solid as everything on Up All Night and helps accentuate the lyrics to the track." [4]
