'Big Green Tractor', but it falls well short of [those] songs, in large part to a clumsy hook." Reviewing the album, Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine felt that this song, along with "Old Love Feels New" and "I Can Take It From There", had content too similar to other country songs and lacked a "distinctive point of view." In 2017, Billboard contributor Chuck Dauphin put "You" at number five on his top 10 list of Young's best songs. Music video The music video was directed by Chris Hicky and premiered in September 2011. It features a black-and-white background, while several of the objects in the video (cars, clothes, etc.) are shown in color. In the video, Young is seen working as a gas station attendant. A woman in a red sports car pulls up, and Young fills her car up with gas, and washes it. Just then, a woman in a yellow car pulls into the gas station, and Young washes her windshield. As he places a tire in the back of a dark blue pick up, a third woman, in a turquoise-colored car, pulls into the gas station, and he puts air in her tire and checks her engine. At the end, Young puts a guitar in the back of the dark blue pickup (revealed to be his pickup), and drives away in it. He sees his three customers, and waves to them. Young is shown in his gas station uniform, playing guitar, throughout the video. This was also Young's first music video to not feature him wearing his trademark cowboy hat at any point in the video.
