Critical reception

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song three and a half stars out of five, writing that it "isn't about the words or the musicianship. It's about the vibe and the sweet groove this Georgia-raised singer lays down patiently."

In 2017, Billboard contributor Chuck Dauphin put "Chillin' It" at number six on his top 10 list of Swindell's best songs.
