Critical reception
In his review of Welcome to Cam Country for Allmusic, David Jeffries wrote that "if getting the clever hit 'My Mistake'[...] was the impetus for the EP, so be it. The highlight and earworm is surrounded by equally infectious numbers". Billy Dukes from Taste of Country reviewed the song favorably, saying that "Lyrically she and Tyler Johnson haven’t written an overly complicated or colorful song. The verses are short, sweet and sonically flawless[...]'My Mistake' shows both Cam’s strong voice and personality."{{cite web|url=http://tasteofcountry.com/cam-my-mistake/|title=ToC Critic's Pick: Cam, 'My Mistake' [Listen]|last=Dukes|first=Billy|date=March 9, 2015|work=Taste of Country|accessdate=19 June 2016}}
