Critical reception
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song three and a half stars out of five, calling it "clever, but not so cheeky that the joke tires after a listen or three." Kyle Ward of Roughstock gave the song three stars out of five, writing that "it sounds great sonically and the catchy beat and melody mostly make up for a fairly clunky hook that only sort of works." The song received a C grade from Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe, who wrote that "what could’ve been cute and goofy in a sellin’ turnips on a flatbed truck way, ends up just sounding dumb and ridiculous."
