"Best Shot" gave Allen his first number-one hit of his career, spending three non-consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Country Airplay chart.

It was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and has sold 146,000 copies in the United States as of April 2019.

An accompanying music video for the single, directed by Ford Fairchild, features Allen performing the song while surrounded by childhood pictures.

As a result, it became the first song to return to number one after falling based on airplay since Jimmy Wayne's "Do You Believe Me Now" spent two non-consecutive weeks at the top in September 2008.
