Critical reception
Country music blog Taste of Country reviewed the single favorably, writing that "The idea of being drunk on one’s love is hardly new to the format, but Eldredge’s interpretation is no less sincere for it. The song aims right down the middle of what fans and radio have come to expect from the crooner, and it should easily become another big hit."{{cite web|title=Brett Eldredge, 'Drunk on Your Love' [Listen]|url=http://tasteofcountry.com/brett-eldredge-drunk-on-your-love/|accessdate=October 24, 2015|work=Taste of Country|publisher=Townsquare Media|date=October 22, 2015}}
