Critical reception
The song received a favorable review from Taste of Country, which called it "a clever turn of a popular expression." The review stated that "Rhett makes the sentiment sound sweeter than Georgia tea in this song."{{cite news|title=Thomas Rhett, 'Get Me Some of That' [Listen]|url=http://tasteofcountry.com/thomas-rhett-get-me-some-of-that/|accessdate=December 10, 2013|newspaper=Taste of Country|date=November 13, 2013}} Bobby Peacock of Roughstock gave the song three and a half stars out of five, writing that "amid the lines that seem clichéd on the surface are plenty of enjoyable lines […] that lend a playfulness and wit beyond other songs of this sort." Peacock also praised the song's "laid-back" production and Rhett's "laid-back and smooth" delivery.{{cite news|last=Peacock |first=Bobby |title=Single Review: Thomas Rhett - Get Me Some Of That |url=http://www.roughstock.com/reviews/single-review-thomas-rhett-get-me-some-of-that |accessdate=December 10, 2013 |newspaper=Roughstock |date=November 22, 2013 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131205213808/http://www.roughstock.com/reviews/single-review-thomas-rhett-get-me-some-of-that |archivedate=December 5, 2013 }} Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave a mixed review of the song, rating the song a B− and stating, "The mind-numbingly dull lyric has nothing new to offer, with details that sound more like a pitch for an Axe commercial than an actual documentation of a realistic human experience" and "But Rhett sells it anyway. It’s nice to hear a guy who can actually sing being allowed to do so, without any production tricks or clumsy attempts at spoken word."{{cite web|url=http://www.countryuniverse.net/2014/02/11/single-review-thomas-rhett-get-me-some-of-that/|title=Single Review: Thomas Rhett, "Get Me Some of That"|first=Kevin John|last=Coyne|date=11 February 2014|work=countryuniverse.net|accessdate=11 January 2017}} The song was criticized in Maddie and Tae's "Girl in a Country Song".{{cite web|url=https://countryperspective.com/2014/07/14/review-maddie-taes-girl-in-a-country-song/|title=Review – Maddie & Tae's "Girl In A Country Song"|first=Josh|last=Schott|date=14 July 2014|work=countryperspective.com|accessdate=11 January 2017}}
