Critical reception
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country reviewed the single favorably, saying that "By freeing themselves of the shackles of what is or isn’t 'real' country music, this duo is able to fall into rhymes and metaphors that set their sound apart as much as their in-your-face production style...Sonically, the song is very similar to many (but not all) of FGL’s previous hits...a closer listen reveals an incredibly refined sonic landscape."[3]

The song first entered the Billboard Country Airplay at number 50 on chart dated June 27, 2015,[4] and peaked at number 3 on the chart on October 31 2015.[5] The song also peaked at number 6 on the Hot Country Songs chart, making it the duo's first single to not reach number one on either chart, although it did reach number one on the Canadian Country Chart.
