Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that the single, "offers a pretty, lilting melody, understated acoustic instrumentation, and another nice performance from McGraw." She proceeds saying that what McGraw lacks in vocal gymnastics he has always, "more than made up for in personality, and the current single is no exception." However, she states that "while the melody tends to grow on you, there's not a whole lot going on otherwise that makes this track grab attention."[2] Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song a C grade, saying that it "goes nowhere lyrically or melodically, and there isn’t a drum beat or steel guitar hook around to save it.", and that the song is such an "easy listening number that’s so easy to listen to, it might put you to sleep."[3]
"Some Things Never Change" debuted at number 47 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of April 15, 2000.
