Critical reception
Angela Stefano of
Taste of Country wrote that the song was "a big ol' slice of girl power".[2] Writing for the same site, Cillea Hougton stated that "The summery track ditches the polite standards associated with the phrase the song is named after, instead following a single woman for a night on the town where she treats herself to the highest liquor on the shelf and dances like no one’s watching."[3] CMT writer Jessica Nicholson called the song's guitar work "'80s inspired".[1] Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe was less favorable toward the track, calling it a "assembled from spare parts and assembled on the backs of other women who have done the work." He also criticized the band for "build[ing] an entire song around the name [they] have stolen from a black woman".[4]
