He praised the "rich images" of the lyrics and the backing vocals from Alison Krauss.[1] Bobby Peacock of Roughstock gave it a full five-star rating, calling the single "a near-flawless exercise in simplicity."[2]

Music video

The music video was directed by Roger Pistole and premiered in late 2010.
