Critical reception
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song a favorable review, writing that "‘Rum’ has a garage rock quality to it. Sparse percussion backs John Osborne’s guitar lick before brother T.J. begins his story." Bobby Peacock of Roughstock also reviewed the song favorably, saying that "the lyrical content is elevated to originality by way of nonstandard lyrics and phrasing, most notably on the chorus." Peacock added that "the best and most distinctive feature is the production, which is loose, stripped-down, and funky just like its predecessor."

Music video
The music video was directed by Peter Zavadil and premiered in July 2014. It was filmed in their hometown of Deale, Maryland.
