Content

The song is an up-tempo in which the narrator uses various California-themed imagery to describe his lover, whom he says is "so California".

Critical reception

Blake Boldt of Country Universe gave it a B-rating saying it was "little more than album filler", calling the production both "modest and "a bit sterile", but saying that Allan's "gravelly" vocal was of note.[2] Allen Jacobs of Roughstock gave the song a favorable review, writing that "the big chorus with fiddle-play is the best part of the song" and "the storyline is as vast and dynamic as the state that inspired it."[3]

gollark: Given the lack of evidence, we *should* be just ignoring the possibility of god.
gollark: Do they, though?
gollark: That's more showing that "god is not known to exist or not", not that they don't.
gollark: If there's no god there is no *need* for Eric!
