Critical reception

Billy Dukes of ''Taste of Country'' gave the song three and a half stars out of five, saying that it "aims right down the country-pop middle but leaves one wanting for a little more depth." Kevin John Coyne of ''Country Universe'' gave the song a D, writing that "it isn't bad enough to be offensive" and "it doesn't exist enough to be bad."

Music video

The music video was directed by Adam Boatman and premiered in February 2012. This was the back up video after the high-budget original video was shot in December, which was never released.
