Reception
Critical reception
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song a rating of three-and-a-half stars out of five, writing that "[the] layers of electric guitar and a lengthy (by country radio standards) solo before the bridge add unnecessary distractions, but ultimately Currington’s satisfying delivery brings back a delectable groove."[3] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock also gave the song three-and-a-half stars out of five. He said that "while completely reminding me of those great hook-filled mid/late 1980s adult pop songs melodically, 'Hey Girl' still features a strong vocal and fiddle and steel guitars that are audible more than one might expect."[4] Ben Foster of Country Universe gave the song a C grade, writing that it "has some infectious guitar work going for it, but it’s not enough to elevate the song beyond what it is – regular dime-a-dozen radio filler with a total lack of a lyrical hook."[1]
