The track was described by Sterling Whitaker of "Taste of Country" as a "traditional-themed love song about wanting a lover to meet the family and see the  places and faces most important to you" as well as a "progressive musical track features the kind of spoken-work, not-quite-rapping verses Hunt is best known for". Writing for "Rolling Stone", Jon Freeman described the song as featuring "acoustic guitar arpeggios that lead into big, bright choruses of banjo, vocal snippets, and wah-wah guitar", also calling it "not too far afield from the all-embracing sound that made his debut "Montevallo" such a compelling listen".
