Contents 1 Critical reception 2 Charts 3 References 4 External links Critical reception Tom Jurek, a music reviewer and writer for Allmusic, cited `` I Would n't Have Missed It... '' as `` urban cowboy country music in its purest essence, '' referring to the pop crossover - style of country music that was in vogue during the early 1980s. The song -- which prominently featured backing vocals, a harp and acoustic guitar -- had a chorus that, wrote Jurek, `` is so infectious it could be heard being hummed and whistled on street corners and its words being sung in barrooms and dancehalls throughout the rest of 1981.
