Critical reception



Chuck Taylor of 'Billboard' gave the song a positive review and wrote, "The outstanding song has a haunting, memorable melody and a great lyric, starting with the opening lines. It's a lyric with a poignant sentiment, and Womack delivers it beautifully. She possesses one of the most compelling country female voices to come along in quite a while-vulnerable one minute, compelling and gutsy the next. This should quickly become the next hit on what will no doubt become a lengthy parade for this talented artist."Taylor, Chuck. 'Billboard' Lee Ann Womack (June 29, 2002)
