Critical reception edit
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that Jackson's "stone-country vocal drips with pain and the remorse of a man who let love slip through calloused hands."[1]
Jeffrey B. Remz of Country Standard Time cited the song as a standout track on High Mileage, calling it a "spare, sad ballad" and saying that the song's theme of lost love was "not surprising" given that Jackson had just separated from, and reunited with, his wife.[2]
