Critical reception

On AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine said, "... Bobby Rush settles into a comfortable groove on All My Love for You.... This is a bright, largely cheerful affair, filled with punchy rhythms, tart horns, and clean licks. Dialing back his signature raunch a notch, Rush sings with an audible grin throughout the record..."

In Blues Blast Magazine Ken Billett wrote, "These new songs provide insights into a man who loves telling a good story and has fun doing so, while emphasizing the groove – that Bobby Rush funky groove – audiences have adored for more than sixty years.... A true gift for today's blues fans, Rush has earned the right to be called an elder statesman of the genre that is the backbone of modern American music."

In Blues Rock Review, Meghan Roos said, "All My Love for You offers listeners a balance between the raw energy brought on 2020's Rawer than Raw and 2016's funk-infused Porcupine Meat, both of which snagged Rush's two Grammys for Best Traditional Blues Album. Each song benefits from strong rhythms that accent Rush's lyrics. Rush sings like he's deeply engaged with the emotions of the moment..."
