Critical reception
editThe song received a positive review from Taste of Country, who wrote that "So many of the songs on The Big Revival recall memories of Chesney’s biggest hits without feeling like duplicates. Add “Save It for a Rainy Day” to the list. As he reaches for a fourth straight No. 1 it’s difficult to argue this isn’t his best album since Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates."[1]
