Giving it a 'thumbs up', Sam Gazdziak of Engine 145 said 'Clearly, he’s singing to a younger audience who want to hear more about the wild and crazy side of love and not the harsh realities… That said, the song is also ridiculously catchy, and Hayes’ talents as a singer and musician help make it rise above any lyrical missteps.'[6] It received 4 stars out of 5 from Billy Dukes of Taste of Country, who said that the song had a 'frantic pace' that 'matches what he’s looking for', and that it 'shows a new level of confidence'.[7] A 4.5 star rating came from Matt Bjorke of Roughstock, who compared it favorably to Keith Urban and said that the 'lyrics… are stronger than most of the songs on country radio and the melody is interesting.'[8]
