Critical reception

Matt Bjorke of Roughstock said that the song "isn't the Buffett-like country tune" but that it "fits Kenny Chesney like a glove" as it details quite a bit about what his life has been like since he became that touring musician.^[2] Juli Thanki of Engine 145 gave it a thumbs down, saying that it "sounds like a second rate Jason Aldean song" with an "average vocal performance and bland lyric."^[3]

Music video

The music video was directed by Shaun Silva. It features Chesney performing in concert and shows home videos from his past tours.
