Critical reception

Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, calling a "thumpin' ode to appreciation of one's good ole gal, particularly when sleeping kids provide opportunity." She goes on to say that Adkins "wraps his muscular baritone around a bold production and a lyric heavy on domestic-life testosterone." William Ruhlmann of Allmusic also gave the song a favorable review, saying that it "has a frisky appeal and, with its erotically charged tag line, 'You wanna?' a novelty quality[.]"

The music video was directed by Michael Salomon, and premiered in late 2003. It co-stars model Lisa Ligon.
