There's No Gettin' Over Me reached No. 1 on Country album charts and broke the Top 40 of the Billboard 200, peaking at No. 31. It was ultimately certified as Gold. Allmusic described the album as the "perfect example of what Milsap was about in his middle period. There's humility in his confidence and a genuine empathy in his croon. Yeah, it's slick, and even schlocky in places...but it's also terrific." The publication focused on the track "I Wouldn't Have Missed It For the World," which it describes as "urban cowboy country music in its purest essence"
