Critical reception
The single has received positive reviews from critics. Billy Dukes of Taste of Country wrote that "‘What I Can’t Put Down’ is the signature track from Jon Pardi’s ‘Write You a Song’ album. More than any other, this country-rocker defines the music he introduces on one of 2014’s finest releases to date." Vickye Fisher of For The Country Record remarked "Channelling a head-bobbing, rock ‘n’ roll sound that slots into the kind of country we were used to hearing on the radio just a few years ago, this fairly catchy song will be a great one for the festivals of the summer. It utilizes the cute hook of “I’m always picking up what I can’t put down”, running through cheerful and non-threatening examples of vices, such as cigarettes, alcohol, music and love, perhaps a girl in particular."
Music video
The music video was directed by The Edde Brothers and premiered in June 2014.
