Critical reception


Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song a positive review, saying that "The How Country Feels album was a commercial comeback album for Houser, but this song feels more personal. Maybe he's just more confident after several No. 1 hits. "We Went" is not a true vocal showcase a la "Like a Cowboy," but there's enough power between his voice and this arrangement to remind fans he's not resting on a good year or two."[6]
