Critical reception
Vickye Fisher of the country blog For The Country Record gave the song a favorable review, stating "they pick up on a cheesy patriotic theme with plenty of inter-rhymes and making sure to name-check various cities, at the same time mentioning fun, “young” things to do, making this is a pleasant track that is bound to attract teens" Also, Fisher says "‘Young In America’ also keeps the strong Dixie Chicks-esque fiddle line that was present in ‘The Heart of Dixie’, plus mandolin and acoustic guitar to keep things sweet, and a strong but broad drum line to encourage dancing." [2] Similarly, Jen Swirsky of Country Music Chat states "With Danielle’s broad vocal range, heavy strings and percussion behind her, and an uplifting, positive beat, “Young In America” is the perfect joyride Spring/Summer song for the young at heart." [3]
