"Meat & Candy aligns closely with [Sam] Hunt's Montevallo, particularly in its casual rap rhythms - evident not only in the beats that underpin the productions but also in Ramsey's delivery - but Old Dominion lack the beefy assurance of Hunt. Instead, this is a sharper, savvier variation of Rascal Flatts: crossover pop as suited for an office as it is for a make-out session. That's an endorsement, not a dismissal: it's hard to sound this light and easy".
