Reception
Karlie Justus of The 9513 gave the song a thumbs-down review. Although she said "Its solid production and charismatic performance also save it from going from cute to cheesy, unlike some of Adkins’ more ridiculous outings", she still considered it a poor single choice, as she thought that Adkins had too many novelty singles in his repertoire.
Chart performance
The song debuted at #49 on the Hot Country Songs chart dated January 17, 2009.
