"The churning production is terrifically exciting," writes Oermann, "Luckily, [Smith's] got the vocal chops to keep up with it, and the driving song has hooks aplenty.
"[9][10] In Canada, "Wastin' Gas" debuted and peaked at number forty-one on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 on the chart issued November 15, 2014.
