Critical reception
Deborah Evans Price from Billboard described "She Drew a Broken Heart" as "a feisty uptempo tune about a woman whose goodbye note is written in lipstick on her ex-lover's satin sheets." She added, "Laced with fiddle and buoyed by the sass in Loveless' vocals, this is an extremely strong offering that should find instant acceptance at country radio."[2]
