Of the album's title track, Swindell told the website Sounds Like Nashville that the song was chosen as the title track "because I think the album is full of every topic we could touch on."[4]

He praised the lyrics of "Reason to Drink", "The Ones That Got Me Here", and "Dad's Old Number" in particular.[5] Annie Reuter of Sounds Like Nashville also praised the songwriting, and said of the album as a whole, "Whether he wrote the song or not, his emotive singing shines through, leaving a lasting impression on the listener. And, with a proven track record at radio in selecting songs that leave an impact, All of It adds to Swindell’s growing catalog of hits."[6]
