Up All Night received generally positive reception from music critics. Metacritic assigns a "weighted average" metascore to albums based upon the reviews and ratings of selected independent reviewers, and the album score is a 67, which means it received "generally favorable" reviews. [4] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave it three stars, saying that it is "shameless in its attempt to win you over, and […] that eager-to-please nature winds up ingratiating whether you like it or not." [5] Bobby Peacock of Roughstock praised Moore's voice and the production, saying that Moore "touches on so many country cornerstones […] in a believable fashion." [8] A positive review also came from the Great American Country writer Daryl Addison, who said that it "carries a unique sound that fits somewhere between ramblin’ man storytelling, hook-driven contemporary country and atmospheric blue-collar rock." [11] Country Standard Time's Michael Rampa was less favorable, criticizing the themes of some songs for "paying women with alcohol". [12]

At Country Weekly , Jessica Nicholson gave a positive review of the album, remarking that "Kip's grainy, warm and confident vocal delivery ties the tales together into a believable tapestry. [13] Brian Mansfield of USA Today rated the album two-and-a-half stars, observing that "Moore's blue-collar grit is welcome, but only on Reckless (Still Growin' Up) does he approach his heroes." [10] Billboard rated the album a 3.5 out of 5, stating, "Moore spends much of his debut album, Up All Night, outlining the pleasures to be had from hot women and cold beverages." [6] Taste of Country's Billy Dukes rated the album four stars, writing, "Like Eric Church before him, this singer may struggle to find consistent mainstream success, but it’s not because of a lack of high-quality material." [9] At PopMatters , Dave Heaton rated the album six out of ten discs, saying, "It’s still generic, but takes a somewhat different turn, which is true for the entire LP." [7]

In 2017, Billboard contributor Chuck Dauphin placed four tracks from the album on his top 10 list of Moore's best songs: "Beer Money" at number one, "Somethin' 'Bout a Truck" at number three, "Hey Pretty Girl" at number five and "Faith When I Fall" at number ten. [14]
