Billy Dukes of Taste of Country rated "Give It All We Got Tonight" 4.5 out of 5 stars.{{cite web|last=Dukes|first=Billy|title=George Strait, 'Give It All We Got Tonight' – Song Review|url=http://tasteofcountry.com/george-strait-give-it-all-we-got-tonight/|date=2012-10-29|work=Taste of Country|accessdate=30 October 2012}} He states the song is a "...rarely matched romancer with more sensory cues than just about everything he’s ever cut. After just a single listen, one breathes in the smell of a summer shower garnished with sweet perfume or rugged cologne." He finishes with saying, "his best songs are timeless, seemingly capable of becoming a hit in the ’80s, ’90s or 2000s. Add ‘Give It All We Got Tonight’ to a list of his all-time classics."
