Critical reception

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song three and a half stars out of five, calling it "clever, but not so cheeky that the joke tires after a listen or three."[2] Kyle Ward of Roughstock gave the song three stars out of five, writing that "it sounds great sonically and the catchy beat and melody mostly make up for a fairly clunky hook that only sort of works."[3] The song received a C grade from Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe, who wrote that "what could’ve been cute and goofy in a sellin’ turnips on a flatbed truck way, ends up just sounding dumb and ridiculous."[4]

Two music videos were produced for the song. The first, directed by Justin Key, premiered in February 2012.[5] A second music video directed by Peter Zavadil premiered in April 2012.[6]
