Brittney McKenna of NPR's blog Songs We Love wrote that the " song functions as an epistolary conversation with hatred itself, introducing hate as a figure 'on the news today' with the ability to 'poison any mind.'" She contrasted the message with Eric Church's "Kill a Word" and Tim McGraw's "Humble and Kind".
The song was nominated in 2019 for a Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.{{cite web | url=https://www.grammy.com/artists/vince-gill/16740 | title=Vince Gill | publisher=Grammy.com | accessdate=April 18, 2024}}
