The song was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and has sold 174,000 copies in that country as of November 2016.

A music video directed by Ry & Drew Cox was created to promote the single.

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country reviewed the song favorably, saying that "A catchy chorus infuses “I Know Somebody” with a jolt of energy before the second verse brings the roller coaster ride back down for a moment.

There are a few non-organic instruments to be found, but this is a band that's long been comfortable stretching the definition of country music.

Asking LoCash to rely on banjo and fiddle would be like asking George Strait to wear skinny jeans.
