Critical reception

[edit]

Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song an A, calling it "another one of Strait’s smoothest pop performances, with just enough country touches in the production to keep his traditionalist credentials intact." Coyne states that "taken literally as a love gone wrong song, it’s a beautiful piece of work."^[3]^[4]
