Reception
Larry Flick of Billboard gave the song a positive review: "The song's theme is somewhat well worn in country music, but the track revisits the lost-love scenario with a cleverly penned lyric and a dancefloor beat."
Mike Joyce of The Washington Post in his review of Hypnotize the Moon wrote, "Walker also gets a big assist from other songwriters, particularly Richard Fagan, who contributes the clever and spirited heartbreaker, 'Only on Days That End in `Y.'" Editors at USA Today wrote, "Only on Days That End in "Y" is one of those ideas that isn't clever enough to carry a whole song."

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
