An uncredited review in Music & Media magazine called the song "folk rock with an easygoing and friendly air." In a review of the album for The Macon Telegraph, Marty Berry stated that the song mixed elements of folk rock and country music through its use of power chords and mandolin while also praising the duo's vocal harmony. Jim Ridley later wrote in New Country magazine that the song was an "irresistible pop ballad" that "conquered the nation's progressive FM stations".
