Critical reception

Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song a favorable review, saying that "they blend southern rock, 70s AC pop and percussive singer/songwriter fare into a blender and sprinkle in fantastic harmony with country music lyrics to craft a song that truly showcases virtually everything that Zac Brown Band is in." On the same site, Bobby Peacock rated it 4½ stars out of 5, praising the "refreshing, relaxing yet energetic arrangement" and "authentically Caribbean beat". Giving it a "B", Jon Freeman of Country Weekly thought that the similarly-themed "Toes" and "Knee Deep" were superior songs, but that "Jump Right In" is "pleasant enough, featuring the band's perfect harmonies and exotic, loose-limbed rhythms." A less favorable review came from Billy Dukes of Taste of Country, who gave the song two and a half stars out of five and said that "it’s a feel-good song, but one that’s maybe too familiar, especially to passive fans of the group who have only bought the occasional single or just enjoyed ZBB on the radio."

Music video

The music video was directed by Cole Cassell and premiered in May 2013. It features American TV and Film actress Carmela Zumbado.
