Critical reception
Website Taste of Country reviewed the single favorably, saying that "After pushing the edges of their sound with “Dirt” and “Sun Daze,” Hubbard, Brian Kelley and Moi return home with “Sippin’ on Fire,” the third single from Anything Goes. It’s a song that could have found its way on to Here’s to the Good Times."{{cite web|url=http://tasteofcountry.com/florida-georgia-line-sippin-on-fire/|title=Florida Georgia Line, 'Sippin' on Fire' [Listen]|date=18 February 2015|work=Taste of Country|accessdate=23 July 2015}}
