steve morse of the "boston globe" called the song "festive" and a "highlight" of the album. "country weekly" reviewer jessica phillips said that the song was "happy-go-lucky" but "sounds like a derivation of the band's own hit "toes"." eric r. danton of the "hartford courant" called it "exactly the kind of song you'd expect to hear jimmy buffett sing, but with more mandolin." kevin john coyne, reviewing the song for country universe, gave it a b+ rating, saying that the song "lacks spunk but radiates the same sea-breezy blissfulness" as "toes".
