Critical reception

Jeff Lincoln of Country Standard Time said that the song "has a charming, sultry groove. Exchanging sharp Dobro twangs with understatedly suggestive lyrics, it's something Ronnie Milsap may have plucked for himself 30 years ago".[2] Giving it three stars out of five, Billy Dukes of Taste of Country called the opening lyrics "vapid" but praised the chorus, also saying, "The mood is right."[3]
