It looks good thanks to some good lighting, camerawork, and post production color correcting, making this a movie that would play well on both at the theater and on a TV screen."[https://archive.today/20150428093927/http://www.christianreview.com/movie-review-like-a-country-song/] The Dove Foundation said "This movie clearly illustrates the realities of life but also the hope one has in following God."{{Cite web|url=https://dove.org/review/10285-like-a-country-song/|title=Like a Country Song | Dove Family Friendly Movie Reviews|website=Dove.org}} Christian Cinema also gave the film 4 stars out of 5{{Cite web|url=https://www.christiancinema.com/digital/movie/like-a-country-song|title=Christian Cinema|website=Christiancinema.com}} stating "Make no mistake, this is a story about healing, forgiveness and redemption..."{{Cite web|url=http://www.christiancinema.com/catalog/article_info.php?articles_id=9503|title=C: 888-527-2388 : Christian movies, Christian videos, Christian films, Christian DVD, The Passion of Christ movies on VHS and DVD|website=Christiancinema.com}} Ted Baehr of Movieguide rated the film with three stars out of four saying "Like A Country Song has many positive, faith affirming moments. It shows the freedom that forgiveness gives, not just in forgiving others of their mistakes, but accepting Christ’s forgiveness of our mistakes. A beautiful portrayal of the Gospel, repentance and reconciliation are properly displayed. Light caution is still advised for Like A Country Song, due to some minor violence and heavy drinking."{{Cite web|url=https://www.movieguide.org/reviews/like-a-country-song.html|title=LIKE A COUNTRY SONG |website=Movieguide.org|date=June 5, 2014}}
