Reception edit
Chad Childers of Loudwire stated, "The track gets going Corey Lowery's bass licks before giving way to a swinging drum and guitar combination from Rich Beddoe and Mike Mushok before Adam Gontier's vocals kick in. As for the lyrical content, it's a gut punch of a song."[2] The song has amassed over 10 million streams on Spotify.[8]
