Billy Dukes of Taste of Country complimented the song's carefree nature, writing "[Dan + Shay]'s enthusiasm for the story they're telling is undeniable, and that's what truly brings the song to life."[3] Kelly Brickey of Sounds Like Nashville wrote that the song is a "head-swaying number" that seems "well on its way to driving up the charts."[4]
"Road Trippin'" debuted at number 52 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart dated August 12, 2017.[5] The song peaked at number 42, becoming the group's lowest-peaking single to date.
