Critical reception
Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song a B grade, calling it "a solid song, but Straits performance is oddly distant, and he sings it in a register thats slightly too low."[http://www.countryuniverse.net/2012/07/04/retro-single-review-george-strait-famous-last-words-of-a-fool/ CountryUniverse.net] Song review
