Critical reception
Dan Milliken of Country Universe gave the song a C grade, saying that "the generic 'moody' 90′s production does some of the damage, as does a patchwork melody that can’t seem to connect its phrases. But you can also hear McGraw still ironing out his vocal technique, as his likably nervous tremor in the verses meets a series of clumsy trills and some pitchy "baby's and "maybe's."

Music video
The music video was directed and produced by Sherman Halsey. It premiered on CMT on October 11, 1996, during The CMT Delivery Room. It features Tim McGraw performing the song in an empty room.
