AllMusic

AllMusic editor Matthew Chisling rated the album three and a half out of five stars. He found that Give Me the Music was "the first real example of how exciting Avila is as a pop revelation; her beyond impressive vocal capacity is glorified on this bouncing beat, not hindered like many of her contemporaries [...] Give Me the Music is hardly a bad album, and Avila sounds nearly as wonderfully delicious as she did when her fan base first grew to love her on Canadian Idol [...] This album is one large step towards putting Avila on the pop map where she rightfully belongs."
