Critical reception
Billboard magazine gave the single a positive review by saying, "Given her usual beer mug-clinking output, "Come to Bed" is a surprising first single from Wilson's third album. The lyric spools images from a real-life scenario about a domestic dispute, as she sings, "We're both screamin' and nobody's listening". Soaked with the mournful accompaniment of a slide guitar and solid background vocals from fellow MuzikMafia member and co-producer John Rich, the track resembles previous "When I Think About Cheatin'", another McGehee/ Rich collaboration. Wilson proves that singing about an authentic motif fits her image as well as singing about life as a "Redneck Woman". Catchy and fit for country airwaves, here's a radio-ready hit that will leave listeners ready to jump into bed with Wilson. "[4]
