Critical reception

Bryan Wawzenek of Diffuser compiled a list of country songs by alternative, indie and punk artists.[1] He proclaimed "Labelled with Love" to adorn both musical and lyrical "country hallmarks", with themes pertaining to "drinking and heartbreak" and instrumentation of "moseying beat and Nashville piano."[1]
