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]

Rock and Roll Legend Bob Seger sang this song during Loveless' induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in October 2023.^[3]
