The song is Walker's eleventh single release, as well as his eleventh top twenty hit on the Billboard country singles charts.
Larry Flick of Billboard described the song "There is almost a swampy mooodiness to the melody, yet the production is brisk and the production taut. A sure bet to perk up programmer's ears".[2]
"Bury the Shovel" is Walker's eleventh top 40 single on the Billboard country singles chart. The song spent 18 weeks on the chart,[3] peaking at number 18 on the chart week of November 16. It also peaked at number 24 on the RPM Country Tracks chart in Canada.
