Critical reception

Jose F. Promis from AllMusic described "Keep Givin' Me Your Love" as a "agreeable" house track.[1] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Giddy with the youthful exuberance and romance that made "Finally" a classic, this bright pop/dance ditty could be the boost Peniston need to once again win the hearts of top 40 programmers."[2] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "The intro, with its simple piano chord on a dance beat, and the "false start" of the vocals–sort of stuttering she falls into the song–instantly give away who it is."[3] Andy Beevers from Music Week gave it four out of five, declaring it as "another upbeat and catchy soulful house track that benefits greatly from some West End remixes. This should not have any trouble following In The Mood into the Top 40."[4] The magazine's RM Dance Update deemed it "another happy 'hands in the air' handbag classic".[5] Editor James Hamilton called it a "cheerful plonking canterer".[6] A reviewer from People Magazine described it as a "thump-fest".[7]
