Critical reception
Chuck Taylor of Billboard called the song "A haunting hillbilly treatise on the pain of betrayal and loss" They also wrote, "From the opening Appalachian twang of a mournful-sounding fiddle to Womack's achingly beautiful delivery, this is one intriguing record. The production strikes a balance between country radio's standard expectations and artistic inventiveness. Liddell and Womack color outside the lines here with a decidedly bluegrass feel, yet they keep it sonically in tune with current radio fare. For her part, Womack again displays an uncanny ability to inhabit a song-turning in a performance that reverberates with hurt and disillusionment. It adds up to a vibrant record that both fans and programmers should find impossible to ignore." Ken Barnes of USA Today listed the song as the number one single of 2001 and wrote, " A searing, chill-conjuring performance of a seething Buddy and Julie Miller tune by country's reigning female vocalist."

Womack performed the song on The Today Show on August 18, 2001
