Critical reception
editAn uncredited Taste of Country review stated that "Kip Moore is right when he says his new single ‘Dirt Road’ will raise a few eyebrows, it may just take awhile. Lyrically the new song is country's Mariana Trench hiding behind familiar references to beer, moonlight and backseat romance."[2]
Music video
editThe music video was directed by Peter Zavadil and premiered in July 2014.[3]
