Critical reception
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song a positive review, saying that "Janson’s producer pulls all the elements together for one sweet, smooth ride. The scathing harmonica solo near the bridge almost gets lost upon first listen. So too does the steel guitar that reminds one where Janson’s loyalties lie. It’s a masterful mix that dazzles even before the second verse."{{cite web|url=http://tasteofcountry.com/chris-janson-better-i-dont/|title=Chris Janson, 'Better I Don't' – ToC Critic's Pick [Listen]|date=30 January 2013|work=Taste of Country|accessdate=1 August 2015}}
