Reception

Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that Bentley "shows he has a way with a ballad on this sultry number. The sensual tone and sexy lyric hark back to those envelope-pushing Conway Twitty hits that once raised eyebrows. She goes on to compare the song to Twitty's, "I'd Love to Lay You Down." On Bentley's vocals she says that he "brings warmth to a decidedly sensual lyric."[2] Kevin John Coyne, reviewing the song for Country Universe, gave it a negative rating. He said the Bentley doesn't quite have the vocal maturity to pull this song off but he is getting there.[3]

Music video

The music video was directed by David McClister and was filmed in Nashville in a warehouse.
