Background
Ross remarked that it was "special" for him to record a song written by Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, and that the song is a "blast to play live". Ross began playing the song during his live performance prior to its release.
Critical reception
Chad Carlson of Today's Country Magazine favourably reviewed "Drink Things Through," stating it "takes a recognizable problem, adds a clever twist, wraps it in muscular country-rock production and gives the listener a reason to have some fun with it," opining that it "is a song meant to be felt in a crowded room". Jennifer Eggleston of Backstage Country described the song as "built for last call". An uncredited review from Artistrack opined that the song "captures that reckless, familiar impulse of trying to drown out overthinking with a cold drink and a good time, delivering a hook that sticks in your head long after the final chord fades". Krista Hamm of YourSaintJohn.ca referred to the track as "a fun, country-rock anthem".
