Critical reception
Billy Dukes of 'Taste of Country' gave the song four and a half stars out of five, writing that it is "rowdy and fun" and "should easily become the most successful song of the singers three album career." Matt Bjorke of 'Roughstock' gave the song four and a half stars of five, calling it "downright perfect as the theme song to a fun weekend" and adding that it "truly feels like a monster hit." Dan Milliken, reviewing the song for 'Country Universe', gave it a B, saying that it is "just a radio hit [with] no higher aspiration than to be a slightly cooler version of 'All About Tonight'."
Music video
The music video was directed by Peter Zavadil and premiered in September 2011. It shows Eric at a concert, as well as various close-ups. It was filmed using a grainy-style technique, so the video is fast and somewhat blurry.
