Critical reception
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song three and a half stars out of five, calling it "vivid, but familiar." Dukes wrote that it "isn’t as unique as some songs on the radio or from his catalog" but felt that it "stays true to his brand while opening the door for a few more to join the party."{{cite news|last=Dukes|first=Billy|title=Josh Thompson, 'Cold Beer With Your Name on It' – Song Review|url=http://tasteofcountry.com/josh-thompson-cold-beer-with-your-name-on-it/|accessdate=November 26, 2013|newspaper=Taste of Country|date=July 17, 2013}}
