"Wild in Your Smile" is a song recorded by American country music artist Dustin Lynch. It was released in May 2013 as the third single from his self-titled debut album. The song was written by Rhett Akins, Ben Hayslip and Marv Green.[1]

Critical reception[edit]

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song three and half stars out of five, saying that "a lesser singer may have turned this into a droll, cliche experience, but ‘Wild in Your Smile’ pops with the help of some country-rock production." Dukes wrote that "it sounds so easy for [Lynch] to sing with strength and conviction, and he’s showing the capability to navigate the subtleties that separate a good song from a great song."[2] In her review of the album, Tammy Ragusa of Country Weekly stated that the song is "a bit more edgy and electrified than one might expect from someone in pearl snaps."[3]

"Wild in Your Smile" debuted at number 53 on the U.S. Billboard Country Airplay chart for the week of June 15, 2013.[4] It also debuted at number 50 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the week of October 12, 2013.
