Critical reception

In a review of the album's rerelease, Matt Bjorke of ''Roughstock'' wrote that it is a "song which is definitely well within the musical pocket each of the song’s writers have in their music and an obvious choice for single at some point.

When he, Travis Pastrana and other men are found stranded by Hubbard, Kelley, and Bryan as a result of the failed dirt bike trick, Kelley invites them to a party in the back of their semi truck, which is revealed throughout the video to consist of dancing women and beer. The trio can be seen both inside and on top of the truck as it travels. Towards the end of the video, dirt bikers perform tricks as they fly over the trio, who are standing on solid ground.
