The Washington Post wrote that "McClinton has always been an exciting singer, but there's a hard-won, undefeated wisdom in his voice now that allows him to sing with the knowingness of his childhood blues heroes." [20] The Los Angeles Times called the album "a fiery, up-tempo collection driven by snappy horn lines and soulful vocals." [21]
The Chicago Tribune thought that McClinton's "soulful, raspy voice is equally at home on flat-out rockers such as 'The Real Thing' and 'That's the Way I Feel' and on his own bluesy ballad, 'I Want to Love You'." [16] Newsday concluded that the album confirms that McClinton "can still do roadhouse rock with the best of them." [22] The Oregonian praised the singer's "gravelly voice," and deemed the album "gutsy, brawling blues and R&B." [23]
AllMusic wrote that "rather than trying to replicate McClinton's late-'70s sound, I'm With You has subtle touches of the newer commercial and polished country of the time mixed with the soul McClinton is known for." [15]
