The song was written by Bentley and Brett Beavers . </P> <P> Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that Bentley "shows he has a way with a ballad on this sultry number . The sensual tone and sexy lyric hark back to those envelope - pushing Conway Twitty hits that once raised eyebrows . She goes on to compare the song to Twitty's, "I'd Love to Lay You Down ." On Bentley's vocals she says that he "brings warmth to a decidedly sensual lyric ." Kevin John Coyne, reviewing the song for Country Universe, gave it a negative rating . He said that Bentley doesn't quite have the vocal maturity to pull this song off but he is getting there . </P>
