Critical reception

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song three and a half stars out of five, writing that "it’s wide-open, catchy and easy to fall in love with, even if it’s not exactly crammed full of tangible memories."[4] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock also gave the song three and a half stars out of five, calling it "a melodic, arena-ready sing-a-long type of song" and saying that "Paslay's take on the song is much, much more grounded in Country Music's roots [than Lady Antebellum's recording] with banjos and fiddles audibly in the mix."[3]

Music video

The music video was directed by Mason Dixon and premiered in August 2013.[5]
