Critical reception

On its release as a single, Cash Box described "You Get to Me" as a "fine country rocker" and "laid-back in the great tradition". They added, "The instrumentation is very mellow, the tune is well paced and Eddie's vocal power is mellow."[2] In a review of Eddie Rabbitt, Don Weller of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin considered "You Get to Me" as one of a few tracks to have "an easy rolling flow".[3]
