Critical reception[]

An uncredited Taste of Country review stated that the song "borrows from Arcade Fire for a pop-rock-infused story about two lovers enjoying the moonlight like country kids do. It hits you across the face from the very first note. Sonically, it’s a very thick track.[1] Italian magazine "Vanity Fair.it" praised the song in its review, saying that "Night's on Fire's country atmospheres will carry the listener in the USA in the blink of an eye".[2] The magazine also rated the song number 11 on its list of the 24 Greatest Italian Summer Hits.[3]
