Critical reception

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country reviewed the single favorably, saying that "By freeing themselves of the shackles of what is or isn't 'real' country music, this duo is able to fall into rhymes and metaphors that set their sound apart as much as their in-your-face production style...Sonically, the song is very similar to many (but not all) of FGL's previous hits...a closer listen reveals an incredibly refined sonic landscape."^[3]
