Critical reception

Jose F. Promis from AllMusic described "Keep Givin' Me Your Love" as an "agreeable" house track. Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "Giddy with the youthful exuberance and romance that made 'Finally' a classic, this bright pop/dance ditty could be the boost Peniston need to once again win the hearts of top 40 programmers." Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "The intro, with its simple piano chord on a dance beat, and the "false start" of the vocals–sort of stuttering she falls into the song–instantly give away who it is." Andy Beevers from Music Week named it Pick of the Week in the category of Dance and gave it a score of four out of five, declaring it as "another upbeat and catchy soulful house track that benefits greatly from some West End remixes. This should not have any trouble following 'In The Mood' into the Top 40." People Magazine described it as a "thump-fest". The Record Mirror Dance Update deemed it "another happy 'hands in the air' handbag classic". RM editor James Hamilton named it a "cheerful plonking canterer" in his weekly dance column.
