Critical reception Entertainment Focus noted that the song "gives more than a passing nod to the 80s." The New York Times commended its "strategic restraint" and said that it "could have come from the Top Gun soundtrack."

Music video The music video premiered on October 9, 2015, and is directed by Luke Gilford. It depicts everyday events in the lives of four individuals in Las Vegas, Nevada: one employed as a singer in a nightclub, one as a chorus girl, one as a wedding officiant, and one as a male stripper. Each character performs for tourists but is depicted as lonely in their personal lives (though some have pets). One of the four individuals who star in the video is Gigi Gorgeous, a transgender actress.

Live performances The first live performance after the release as the second single was at 538Live XXL in the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam on October 10, 2015. A few days later Lambert performed the song on the seven season of The X Factor Australia on October 20, 2015. Donning an animal-print jacket and a pompadour hairstyle, Lambert evoked the Elvis-impersonator character he had played in the "Another Lonely Night" video. Lambert performed the song during The Original High Tour.
