Reception

Critical

Website Taste of Country reviewed the song favorably, saying that "With "T-Shirt," Thomas Rhett again proves that nobody sings young love better than he does. Every single love song he’s released from his first two albums recalls a honeymooner’s excitement. The lascivious tension is palpable."[3]
