Drop Down and Get Me was well received by critics at the time of its release.[9] In a retrospective review, Cub Koda of AllMusic said Del Shannon "sounds great as well, writing nine of the 12 tracks assembled and turning in bang-up readings of Don Everly's "Maybe Tomorrow," the Rolling Stones' "Out of Time" and Phil Phillips' classic "Sea of Love"[1]

Billboard said the album maintains "a very mainstream, highly accessible commercial edge."[11] Cashbox described the album as "pure unadulterated rock 'n' roll joy", stated that "songs like the title cut and "Sucker For Your Love" stand as powerful rockers".[12] Fort McMurray Today described the album as "terrific" and noted that "Del's voice remains a fascinating rock-and-roll instrument huge".[13]

The Daily Sentinel called it "a Good Album".[14] The Age Praised The Heartbreakers for being very much revived and greatly enhanced".[15]
