Critical reception Pierce Greenberg of Engine 145 viewed the song favorably, comparing it to Kevin Fowler's and Brad Paisley's styles and saying, "Likely to be a crowd favorite, it's a song that shows the same kind of thoughtful, clever hook that those artists have built careers around."http://www.engine145.com/album-review-rodney-atkins-its-america/ It's America review Greenberg Pierce 2009-03-31 Engine 145 2009-07-23 usurped https://web.archive.org/web/20141218085012/http://www.engine145.com/album-review-rodney-atkins-its-america/ 2014-12-18 Todd Sterling of Allmusic called it a "honky tonk mashup" and said that it had "a ton of heart" even if it was "calculated".http://allmusic.com/album/its-america-r1498639/review It's America review Sterling Todd Allmusic 19 July 2011 Chart performance Chart (2009)PeakpositionBillboardcanadacountry 38 Rodney AtkinsBillboardcountrysongs 20 Rodney Atkins 15 MinutesUS Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singlesrodney atkins Bubbling Under Hot 100 Rodney Atkins – Chart history – Bubbling Under Hot 100 Billboard February 21, 201315 References Category:2009 songs Category:2009 singles Category:Rodney Atkins songs Category:Curb Records singles Category:Songs written by Tony Mullins Category:Songs written by Jamie Lee Thurston
