Critical reception

Larry Flick, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, calling it "a classic-sounding country weeper, dripping in mournful steel guitar." He states that the "heart-tugging lyric is accentuated by Csaba Petocz's skilled production." He goes on to say that Montgomery's tone is "quite vulnerable, and it works well on this heartbreak ballad."[1]
