Critical reception
The song received poor reviews from critics. Billy Dukes of Taste of Country rated the song 2.5 stars out of 5, praising Bryan's performance of the song and describing the production of the song as "corny-cool."[2] He also called it "an eye-roller from start to finish, but Bryan’s absolute commitment makes it tolerable, if not enjoyable in the right setting."[2] Bob Paxman of Country Weekly rated it a "C-", saying that "it unfurls all the prerequisite clichés: jacked-up trucks, beer, getting your 'love on', and other assorted triteness", although he also said that the song was "undeniably catchy and the record has some nice production touches, including the playful vocal."[1] Ben Foster of Country Universe gave the album a D- stating, "Unfortunately, it also has unabashedly dumb, mind-numbing lyrics that insult the history of the country genre and the intelligence of its fans, shamelessly recycling cliché after cliché right from the opening verse..."[3]
In a September 2013 interview, Zac Brown stated that Bryan's song was "the worst song I've ever heard." He later clarified via Twitter that he did not dislike Bryan as an artist.[4] In defense, Jason Aldean posted on Instagram[5] and co-writer Dallas Davidson spoke out as well.[6]
