Critical reception
Website Taste of Country reviewed the single favorably, saying that "Cole Swindell‘s 'You Should Be Here' is personal and accessible. The piano-driven ballad about the death of his father isn’t so specific that those who haven’t lost a parent feel left out. More than a tribute, it’s a soundtrack for those moments that are perfect except for one vacant parking spot."[1]
