Critical reception
Alanna Conaway of Roughstock gave the single a positive review, stating that it is likely to add another huge hit to the band's 10 number one hits and it is one of the best singles of 2014.[8] Jon Freeman of Country Weekly rated it "B+", praising the Southern rock influences of the production and the "impressionistic metaphors" of the lyric, but adding that "It also comes with a challenging, rangy melody that exposes some of the typically solid Zac's weaknesses as a vocalist. But the band's musicianship is as impressive as ever".[5]
Music video
The music video was directed by Cole Cassell and premiered in July 2014.[9]
