Critical reception
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song two and half stars out of five. Dukes called the song "pop-friendly and not nearly as deep" compared to Nail's previous singles and wrote that "banjo and electric guitar noodling keep flashbacks of 'N Sync out of one's head, but the there are few lyrics that deliver a punch to remember."[4] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song four stars out of five, saying that "the production is contemporary as the melody and lyric warrant but for as country/pop [as] 'Whatever She's Got' feels, it isn't so 'pop' as to think it wouldn't play well within country radio." Bjorke also stated that "the lyrics, the melody and David Nail's vocal all work together to make the song a memorable song."[5]
Music video
The music video was directed by Chris Hicky and premiered in July 2013.[6]
