Critical reception[edit]
Jim Malec described the song positively in his review of the album, calling it a "honky tonk floor-burner that brims with swaggar [sic]."[1] Bobby Peacock also described it positively in his review of the album, saying that the lyric "I like all kinds of music, I try to keep an open mind" seemed like a "mission statement of sorts" for Strait.[3] Country Weekly reviewer Chris Neal gave the song three-and-a-half stars out of five, calling it a "propulsive little groover" and saying that it was performed in "classic Strait style."[2]
