Critical reception

Logan Miller of Front Porch Music positively spoke of the song, stating it "is not just another country song; it’s an anthem that pays tribute to the vast, beautiful land we call Canada". He added that Brody's "personal connection to the lyrics shines through as he reflects on his small-town roots and the values instilled in him by his tight-knit community".[2]
