Reception
Blake Boldt of The 9513 gave the song a "thumbs down"
review. He said that Michaels lures in listeners with a
suggestive passage about getting sexy to save a faded
Single by Bret Michaels love. Boldt also went on to say that the song metal-lite,
mixed with tween country. He also felt that Miley Cyrus
from the album Custom Built stole the show with her harmonies.[2]
