Critical reception

Steve Baltin from Cash Box noted, "Coming out while the latter is still locked into the top 10 ensures a high amount of interest for Brownstone's latest single. A bit more sultry than before, Brownstone show they can play the game at night with the grinding deep voice effort. Another hit."[1] Chuck Campbell from Knoxville News Sentinel remarked the "atmospheric emotion" on the track.[2]

Music video

The official music video for "Grapevyne" was filmed at the Sheats–Goldstein Residence.
