Reception

The song received a "thumbs down" review from the country music site The 9513. Reviewer Brady Vercher stated that the "lyric fleshes out too many irrelevant details that end up creating all sorts of logical fallacies", and that the song was generally over-produced. Overall, he felt that it was an inferior rewrite of Tracy Lawrence's 1994 hit "I See It Now", which also features a storyline based on a male's realization of "all the hell" he has put a former lover through.
