Critical reception

Carrie Horton of Taste of Country reviewed the single favorably, writing that "The hard-rock vibe of ‘Shut Me Up’ instantly grabs listeners in the first heavy drum beats and guitar chords and is on full display during the electric guitar-heavy bridge. Fans won’t find twang here, but that sure doesn’t mean ‘Shut Me Up’ isn’t country. In fact, it’s one of the most fun, catchy and genuinely great country songs we’ve heard this summer."^[3]
