Critical reception
Nate Chinen of 'The New York Times' wrote that the song was "one of the friskier tunes" on the album. Dan Milliken of 'Country Universe' gave the song a B grade, saying that it is the "closest hes come in two albums to capturing his old uptempo spark." Coyne states the song could function as a "prequel to the melancholy, 'Til Summer Comes Around'". Billy Dukes of 'Taste of Country' gave the song four and a half stars out of five, saying that the only criticism is the "early guitar work that runs beneath the songs first verse". Dukes went on to say that it is a song that "only the grouchiest of grouchies can frown on."
