Critical reception

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song a three-star review, saying that "Ultimately, Eldredge succeeds at proving he’s a man of varying emotions, but ‘It Ain’t Gotta’ Be Love’ doesn’t resonate as well as ‘Raymond’ (or any other hit song) does. It’s easy to listen to, and even enjoyable, but it fails to stick between the folds of the brain like great songs do. Instead it sort of rattles around in the ear drum for awhile, before falling out in one’s sleep."[4]
