It’s a good little love song. Todd Clark and Derek Fuhrmann, they wrote [it] and brought it to me and I thought it was a beautiful song. The more I’ve played it live, the more I’ve made it more my own and people seem to really connect with it and really enjoy it so I’m excited to see how that song’s going to do." - Phillip Phillips

"Gone, Gone, Gone" received mostly positive reviews from music critics. Music blog POP! Goes The Charts stated that "it's a solid recording... a much stronger release than "Home"," comparing the arrangement to the John Butler Trio. Lynsey Parker of Yahoo Music wrote that, as a "rousing folk-rock anthem filled with stompy marching-band beats, chanty choruses, winsome guitars, and declarations of undying loyalty, "Gone, Gone, Gone" is arguably just as catchy as "Home," if not more so." Digital Journal called it "a breath of fresh air", while Grady Smith of Entertainment Weekly thought the song "melodic and memorable and could easily cement Phillips’ status as a relevant 2013 artist". Simon Cleary of musicinsideu.com praised the lyrical content of the song which he described as being about "the backbone, the cornerstone of true love," and added that "not many people still dare to believe this kind of love exists anymore. Even fewer believe it's possible for them to live true love. Phillip's got the courage to believe, and to live, and to love."
