Critical reception
Jon Freeman of Rolling Stone commented positively on the song, applauding the group's musical evolution; though he did note caution regarding the song's Christian themes, saying "It's hard not to wonder if the FGL guys — both of whom have publicly proclaimed their faith on numerous occasions — will get some flak from religious listeners the way [Maren] Morris has for "My Church" and its perceived shunning of organized worship." Included on Spotify's list of Picks of the Week, Billboard commented the song "takes FGL in a new direction while keeping the infectious sing-along hooks that made the band famous." Modern Country Music Review deemed in on 3/23/2019 as the song of the decade
