MusicRow magazine stated that "Carpenter, who co-wrote every song on the album, delivers a confident, dynamic project packed with standout tracks, including the previously-released fan-favorites "Dozen Red Flags," "Sound of a Heartbreak," "Only Girl" and "Jesus, I'm Jealous" going on to profess that "While each of these songs showcases the Georgia native's sharp songwriting and vocal prowess, the full body of work cements her place as a country star on the rise, ready to claim her lane".

Country Swag describes the song as an "immediate standout, a perfect dancehall duet that allows Carpenter to riff off of Midland's Mark Wystrach as they play a pair of fated lovers, unable to resist each other amongst the promises of neon lights and endless drinks". == Discography ==
