Critical reception
If anyone feels like writing a critical reception section, here are some quotes: Kaldari (talk) 18:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * "radio-friendly"
 * "Better Get To Livin' is a surging hymn of positivity which offers a remedy to all that ails us... essentially, snap out of it!"
 * "Better Get To Livin' is a strident ode to the lessons that Parton's learned in a lifetime spent in an arena where men most definitely are men and women are expected to be grateful. It sets the tone for most of the album."
 * "cloyingly wise... catchy"
 * "a classic kick-in-the-pants inspirational"
 * "Parton’s latest, “Better Get To Livin’,” should have been a hit... Dolly sounds as good (maybe better) than she ever has."
 * "...one of the best singles of the year, sharply written with lyrics that both comfort and challenge its listeners."
 * I wrote the reception section. Kaldari (talk) 20:40, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Music and structure
"electric guitar-driven, mid-tempo country-rock groove" - iTunes Album Notes, Better Get to Livin' - Single Kaldari (talk) 18:48, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Anyone know if iTunes can be considered a Reliable Source or not. Kaldari (talk) 19:32, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The iTunes single doesn't seem to exist anymore, so the above quote is no longer verifiable (even if it were reliable) :( Kaldari (talk) 01:17, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Personnel
By combining the track credits from Best Buy with the album credits from All Music, I was able to come up with the following personnel credits for the song:


 * Jennifer O'Brien - vocals
 * Rebecca Isaacs Bowman - vocals
 * Paul Hollowell - piano
 * Jerry McPherson - electric guitar
 * Lonnie Wilson - drums
 * Paul Franklin - guitar
 * Sonya Isaacs - vocals
 * Steve Mackey - bass
 * Vicki Hampton - vocals
 * Dave Talbot - banjo
 * Richard Dennison - vocals

Unfortunately, this probably constitutes original research, and I doubt Best Buy is considered a reliable source (although they are undoubtedly pulling their data from some commercial service like Gracenote). Kaldari (talk) 00:51, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
