The song won an ASCAP Award for being among the most performed country songs of 1982.

Critical reception



Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song an A grade, saying that Strait "finds his literal voice" on this song. He states that it is "stronger and more confident than it had been on his first album. While the song calls for a certain amount of restraint and sadness, Strait is able to fully capture those emotions without sounding at all timid." He goes on to say that you cannot listen to the song without "reveling in the delightfully country fiddle riff that dominates the track."[http://www.countryuniverse.net/2011/07/14/retro-single-review-george-strait-fool-hearted-memory/] Review by Kevin John Coyne
