Critical reception
Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song a B- grade, saying that if Strait's voice wasn't so "distinctive and familiar, you could be forgiven for mistaking this for Johnny Lee’s, "Lookin' for Love."[1] Billboard reviewed the song favorably, saying that "Strait's got another winner in this lively promise of changing ways."[2]
