"Wolves" was released as the first single from the album on November 29, 2018. The second single "Jingle and Go" was released on January 8, 2019.[2]
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic described Bingham's work as "his most confident since his brief flirtation with the mainstream at the dawn of the 2010s". Erlewine also mentioned Sexton's work as having "given the album's 15 songs a rough-and-tumble feel suited for backwoods Texas juke joints".
Jim Beviglia from American Songwriter mentions that "American Love Song expertly and movingly shows how the overarching U.S.A. theme can encompass triumph and tragedy from one moment to the next."[5]
American Love Song generally met positive reviews from critics with American Songwriter and Allmusic rating it 4/5 stars and Metacritic giving it a 83/100 rating.

The album's main single "Wolves" was inspired in part by the March For Our Lives students who were dealing with grown men and women questioning their integrity on social media. The song was also featured on the hit TV series Yellowstone. Bingham sang "Wolves" as the series' character Walker.[7]
