Content
The song is a mid-tempo, featuring lead vocals from Dunn, describing a couple who are just starting a family.

Critical reception
Kevin John Coyne, reviewing the song for Country Universe, gave it a B− rating. He said that it is "a decently good lyric that celebrates a love that started with nothing and still is fairly modest, but worthy of pride nonetheless." He also added that the melody was weak and the production was a problem.[1]
