Critical reception
An uncredited Taste of Country review stated that "Kip Moore is right when he says his new single ‘Dirt Road’ will raise a few eyebrows, it may just take awhile. Lyrically the new song is country's Mariana Trench hiding behind familiar references to beer, moonlight and backseat romance."{{cite web|url=http://tasteofcountry.com/kip-moore-dirt-road/|title=Kip Moore, 'Dirt Road' [Listen]|date=6 May 2014|work=Taste of Country|accessdate=8 September 2015}}
