Reception

Matt Bjorke of Roughstock said that the song was "light hearted" and "feel-good" and would appeal to Rascal Flatts' fans, but said that he did not think that it would be well received by those who dislike the band's mainstream sound.[1] Mandi Byerly of Entertainment Weekly said that the song sounded like it came from the High School Musical soundtrack.[2]

Chart performance

"Summer Nights" debuted at number 57 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart dated for April 18, 2009, based on unsolicited airplay received while their then-current single "Here Comes Goodbye" was climbing the charts. "Summer Nights" held this position for two weeks before falling from the charts. It re-entered at number 53 on the same chart dated for May 16, 2009, and entered Top 40 at number 30 two weeks later. The song peaked at number 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
