Critical reception



Deborah Evans Price, of 'Billboard' magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that "love has him in a lassoed condition." She goes on to say that Jackson's "rich vocal romping hooks this catchy twirl." The production was described as "big-sounding" and that it adds "just the right snap."'Billboard', August 1, 1992 Ben Foster of Country Universe gave the song an A grade," saying that "the light jaunty arrangement creates just the right mood for the silly lyrics, while Jacksons laid-back delivery fits the song like a glove. The result is that Jackson creates an infectious singalong-friendly earworm out of a song that could have been a grating annoyance in the wrong hands."[http://www.countryuniverse.net/2011/10/25/retro-single-review-alan-jackson-loves-got-a-hold-on-you/ CountryUniverse.net] Review by Ben Foster
