"Long Hot Summer" is a song co-written and recorded by Australian country music artist Keith Urban. It was released in June 2011 as the third single from his 2010 album Get Closer.[1] It reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the week 22 October 2011.[2] Urban wrote this song with Richard Marx.

Critical reception

Nate Chinen of The New York Times wrote that it was "one of the friskier tunes" on the album.[3] Dan Milliken, reviewing the song for Country Universe, gave it a B rating, saying that it is the "closest he’s come in two albums to capturing his old uptempo spark." Coyne states the song could function as a "prequel to the melancholy, ''Til Summer Comes Around'".[4] Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four and a half stars out of five, saying that the only criticism is the "early guitar work that runs beneath the song’s first verse". Dukes went on to say that it is a song that "only the grouchiest of grouchies can frown on."[5]

Music video

The music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy and premiered on 16 August 2011 on CMT.[6] It featured Summer Glau.
