"Give Me All Your Luvin" was met with generally mixed reviews from music critics. Priya Elan from
NME said the song "seems to soar effortlessly" and that "what Madonna's doing in this song is so much more impossibly fun than we could have imagined." She also stated the song was a progress from the sound of her previous album,
Hard Candy. Jim Farber from the
New York Daily News considered that the song is "a pure snap of bubble gum, closer to an early single like '
Burning Up' than any of her more recent club hits. Only the rap cameos from the quite camp Nicki Minaj, and the less so M.I.A., tell us what decade we're in." Michael Cragg from
The Guardian felt that the track was not bad. "Musically it's a pretty joyful four minutes, featuring bouncing beats, acoustic riffs and
Gwen Stefani-style cheerleader chants, but there's something a bit flat about Madonna's delivery. Given all the love she's demanding, you'd think she'd be more excited." Speaking of the rap part, he thought that "Minaj certainly does her best, her typically frantic rap an exercise in squeezing as many words into a 10-second space as possible, while MIA's more laconic drawl loses momentum." Chris Willman of
Reuters called it "risible" and infectious: "Everything here is as dumb as the titular spelling, but the campiness has its charm, at least if you like the old musicals that some of the tracking shots here are paying homage to".
MTV News journalist Bradley Stern wrote about the "Hey Mickey" comparisons, complimenting the guest rapping of Minaj and M.I.A. even though he felt it was "one of the album’s least compelling moments". In a review of
MDNA, Neil McCormick of
The Daily Telegraph felt that the prime purpose of the "lightest, frothiest track" from the album was to represent next generation's female pop stars. Emily Mackay of
The Quietus wrote in detail about the song: Andrew Hampp from
Billboard negatively reviewed the signing of Minaj and M.I.A. as guest artists, adding that "It's a subpar effort from all parties, particularly Madonna, who hasn't sounded this robotic since the more tweaked-out moments on
Hard Candy." In another review, Keith Caulfield from the same magazine deemed the track as a commercial for Madonna's Super Bowl appearance, rather than being a promotional tool for
MDNA, criticizing it for misleading the listener about the vibe of the album. Gareth Grundy from
The Guardian shared this view, while describing the track as "clumsy rave-pop". Jody Rosen of
Rolling Stone rated it two out of five stars, describing its lyrics and composition as "dashed off" and "in the doldrums", and was displeased by the track's "aggressive, assaultive spunkiness". Sal Cinquemani from
Slant Magazine described the song as "decidedly vapid" and "catchy" but also stated that "its few charms—'60s surf-pop guitar, vintage video-game effects, and references to her past songs—are fleeting at best." He felt that Minaj and M.I.A. were "tacked on for added marketability" and that the song actually lacked "authenticity". While reviewing
MDNA,
The New York Times critic
Jon Pareles described the song as "one of the album's weakest tracks". Joey Guerra from the
Houston Chronicle wrote that the song's "shiny-happy" sound is "nowhere near representative of the full album."
Alexis Petridis from
The Guardian listed the song as the weakest effort on
MDNA, adding that "its position as the album's lead single seems to have had more to do with showing off the presence of Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. than its featherweight melody." A writer for
Virgin Media gave the song three out of five stars, writing: "Like most Madonna singles, it skips along at a furious pace with a gleam in its eye, but the self-references get tiresome and ultimately she is just trying too hard." Nick Levine, writing for
The National, relegated the track as a "lighter pop morsel". Matthew Parpetua from
Pitchfork panned the song, saying that Solveig's production on the track was paired with equally "bland lyrics". Brad O'Mancey from
Popjustice declared that the track was "proof that sometimes you can listen to something many, many times and still not have any idea whether it's any good or not."
Chicago Tribune journalist
Greg Kot was disappointed with the song and its lyrics, which he found to be meaningless, while Bernard Zuel of
The Sydney Morning Herald relegated it as "trite and disposable". Alex Macpherson from
Fact found the song to be "sheer misconceived awfulness".
Jude Rogers from
The Guardian criticized its "unforgivable spelling" and pointed out that the "candy-pop chorus really fizzes, but [Minaj and M.I.A.’s] cheerleading whoops and raps quickly dissolve". She placed the song at number 66 on her ranking of Madonna's singles, in honor of her 60th birthday. In August 2018,
Billboard picked it as the singer's 95th greatest single; "[Madonna's] undeniably the squad captain on this surf-rock-inspired workout, but her collaborators deserve a big thank Y-O-U for providing the catchiest part of the song with their cheerleader chants". == Chart performance ==
